Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuzette Flantua is a project manager and biogeographer with 11 years of experience applying GIS, remote sensing and paleoecological data to address land-use sustainability and climate-change questions. Based in Bergen, she combines academic rigor from a PhD and postdoctoral work with hands-on project delivery—managing the Latin American Pollen Database, running risk assessments, and developing management plans across Venezuela, Colombia and beyond. Her expertise spans habitat connectivity, montane ecosystem responses to past climate change, glacier retreat reconstructions and tropical savanna dynamics, with strong skills in geodatabase design and spatial analysis. An experienced communicator and trainer, she frequently presents to diverse audiences and has led capacity-building courses and participatory mapping with indigenous communities. Not obvious from her title: she pairs deep paleoecological insight with practical sustainability consulting, translating long-term ecological records into actionable landscape management. She’s looking to bring this interdisciplinary, field-to-database perspective to dynamic organizations tackling complex environmental challenges.
