TECHNICIANS
Graduated in Environmental Diagnostics and Management at UNICEN. A few years ago, motivated by the interest of specializing in conservation, I moved to the NEA where I gained experience in the field by assisting in different research projects focused especially on vertebrates. I am currently studying the Specialization in Conservation Biology taught by the National University of Misiones (UNaM) and I reside in the province of Tucumán.
I work in the area of Entomology. I am interested in the diversity of insects, especially termites, in natural and agroforestry environments, their evolutionary history, systematic and morphological characterization, some ecological aspects such as interaction with symbionts, as well as their distribution in space and time. I collaborate with the IER team of researchers in the processing, characterization, maintenance and systematization of biodiversity samples; the execution of experiments and data analysis in the laboratory; the breeding and collection of insects, including field collection; the management, organization, and maintenance of the laboratory, related to equipment and supplies; the writing of technical reports, popular texts and scientific publications.

I specialize in GIS and remote sensing. I handle a wide set of technologies and techniques for spatial analysis and remote sensing. Among other things, I have experience in obtaining maps of uses and coverage; analysis of change of uses and coverage; terrain suitability analysis; connectivity analysis; location-allocation models; generation of time series of dynamic variables; very high spatial resolution mappings with drones. I have worked at different scales in Puna, Yungas and Chaco environments.
My research interests are mainly related to Ecology, Forest Dynamics and Wildlife Management and Conservation. I am currently working as biodiversity database manager, resulting from the different projects of the IER. I organize, manage and maintain the databases for internal use; coordinate IER's participation in databases shared with other institutions; manage public access to IER's databases; participate in the planning of data collection, to make its incorporation to the databases more efficient; and collaborate in the development of monitoring systems applied to biodiversity, natural resources and socio-ecological systems.
Tisone, Jose Luis
Trained park ranger and Bachelor of Tourism. My interests are mainly related to ecology in general, protected areas, local development, tourism, public use etc. I currently work as a field assistant for fellows and researchers. I collaborate with the internal communication committee and am responsible for the website and digital content. I participate in two research projects, one of vegetation restoration, and another of biodiversity monitoring of medium and large mammals in the Dry Chaco.
