Description:
Soil erosion in the Andes is geographer's talk topic
Tinker Visiting Professor Juan Restrepo presents a talk titled "The Perils of Human Activity: Lessons from Colombia's Experience with Soil Erosion."

Drawing from Colombia's experience with man-made ecological modifications, Restrepo sketches out the implications of human pressure on fluvial ecosystem, hoping this information will better equip citizens and policymakers across the developing world.

Restrepo is a professor and researcher at Escuela de Administración, Finanzas y Tecnología (EAFIT) and one of Colombia's top hydrographers.
