Dr. Patricio Moreno
Doctor en Biología Vegetal de la Universidad de Maine, Estados Unidos. Actualmente es profesor asociado de la Universidad de Chile.
Área de investigación: estudio de los patrones, tasas y mecanismos de cambio en ecosistemas terrestres y clima durante el Cuaternario (los últimos 2.5 millones de años). Su trabajo se concentra en Patagonia y busca entender el contexto ambiental (climático y no climático) en el cual han ocurrido las profundas transformaciones biológicas asociadas al último ciclo glacial-interglacial.
