IHACC Student, Paola Torres Slimming, successfully defends her PhD!

Congratulations to Paola for successfully defending her PhD! Paola’s dissertation titled, “Water Security in Indigenous Shawi Communities from the Peruvian Amazon: Using an Ecosystem Approach to Health” explores the current state of water security through Shawi observations. This work highlights the importance of water to livelihoods and health, and reveals how interactions between climatic and non-climatic factors contribute to water insecurity. Results from this work identify key considerations for progress towards the sustainable development goals.
