Assistant Professor, Marine and Environmental Sciences and Public Policy

College of Science; College of Social Sciences and Humanities

Gabriela Garcia is an assistant professor exploring the intersection between plants and people. As an ecologist, she is especially interested in how ecosystem dynamics on farms influence human decision-making, and how those decisions feed back to influence farm ecosystem dynamics. Through cross-disciplinary and collaborative research, she seeks to contribute toward an agroecological transition that preserves biodiversity and fosters socio-ecological resilience to a changing climate.
