About Tomás Quiñones, ESR3
Born in Mediterranean Chile, this biodiversity-loving forestry engineer became intimately connected to the world of large-scale spatial analysis, driven by a desire to comprehend how living systems function. From there, he discovered a very useful tool in quantitative and spatial analysis for answering questions and providing solutions. He stumbled into the world of fires by accident, as a member of the Chilean National Forest Service´s R&D team, where he discovered a beautiful community of people working to build the Chilean model of knowledge about forest fires. His motivations drove him to expand his knowledge in Europe and to work on transferring knowledge from the world of Mediterranean forest fires to the unexplored world of emerging fires in temperate ecosystems.
