Personal Bio

I put my scientific training into action as a weapon in the struggle against destructive river projects. I also work to debunk the myth that dams are good for the climate. We know that dams adversely impact a river's ability to adapt to climate change and dams in tropical regions can be major emitters of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
