She uses a participatory action research approach and mixed methods to explore links between agriculture, nutrition and health. Currently, she is involved in research projects in Guatemala and Ecuador that work with Indigenous farmers practicing agroecology. These projects explore how agroecology, as a farming strategy and social phenomenon, can advance the health and well-being of farmers and their environments. Ana completed a PhD in Nutrition under the Canada Research Chair in Nutrition and Health Inequalities at Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, and holds a B.S. and M.S. in Earth Systems from Stanford University. She has further experience around food systems and health in Belize and Peru, and lived in Ecuador for five years, with part of that time supported by the Fulbright program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myleneriva.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/NSD.jpg\" alt=\"NSD\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"768\" width=\"768\" title=\"NSD\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n\t<h4><a href=\"mailto:nathan.debortoli@mail.mcgill.ca\">Courriel<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/adaptcc.com\/\">Site web<\/a><\/h4>\n\t<h2><strong>Nathan S.

His research focuses on the development of climate change, natural hazards and adaptation indices which encompass qualitative and quantitative data and indicators, and is currently building tools to map vulnerability hotspots to climate change in Inuit Nunangat. \u00a0His work also seeks to understand how traditional knowledge can increase Inuit resilience to cope with natural hazards. Nathan believes that working directly with local communities and governments can help the calibration and foster legitimacy for better indices implementation and integration. Previously he has worked as a consultant for the United Nations Framework for Climate Change, the World Wildlife Fund and the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, building vulnerability indices for flash floods, landslides and drought disasters in the context of Climate Change. He has also worked for Canada&#8217;s IDRC agency developing analysis of extreme weather events and farmer&#8217;s vulnerability in southern Brazil. He holds a PhD In Geography and Sustainable Development from Universit\u00e9 Rennes II in France and University of Bras\u00edlia in Brazil. Nathan has also worked in many EU projects in the Amazon region developing land use models, deforestation and climate impact analysis, and sustainability governance scenarios.<\/p>\n\t<h1 id=\"visiting\">Anciens \u00e9tudiants en visite<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myleneriva.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Semone-Armorgan-Geo-Lab.jpg\" alt=\"Semone Armorgan Geo Lab\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1599\" width=\"899\" title=\"Semone Armorgan Geo Lab\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n\t<h4><a href=\"mailto:semonearmorgan@gmail.com\">Courriel<\/a><\/h4>\n\t<h2>Semone Armorgan<\/h2>\n<h4>Queen Elizabeth Scholar, McGill University &amp; The University of the West Indies ( &#8211; 2025)<\/h4>\n<p>Semone poursuit actuellement sa ma\u00eetrise en statistiques du d\u00e9veloppement \u00e0 l'University des Antilles Occidentales campus de Saint-Augustin.
