M. Socorro Gonzalez-Elizondo

I coordinate projects on floristics and vegetation ecology of the Sierra Madre Occidental, in western Mexico, and participate in several floristic projects elsewhere. Founder and curator of the herbarium CIIDIR (+90,000 specimens), I work mainly on Ericaceae, Cyperaceae, and conifers. I teach two courses at the Graduate program on Environmental Management and give workshops and guest lectures on taxonomy and sustainability.
