Ramzi M. Tubbeh is a postdoctoral scholar at the GeoSyntheSES lab with expertise in political ecology, science and technology studies, and postcolonial studies. His areas of research include water governance, conservation, agrobiodiversity, climate change, and rural livelihoods, with a geographical focus on coastal, mountain, and rainforest landscapes in the tropical Andes. Some of Tubbeh's recent work focused on (1) indigenous communal land titling and forest conservation programs; (2) the impacts of large hydraulic infrastructures and associated water governance systems on agricultural landscapes and livelihoods; and (3) the relationship between community-based irrigation systems, landscape knowledge, and smallholding farmers' resilience. Now at the GeoSyntheSES lab, Tubbeh participates in various research projects on agrobiodiversity, food security, nutrition, smallholding farmers' resilience and colonial agrarian systems.
