Professional resume + Expertise
Mariana Totino received her degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires in 2005 and a PhD in Biology at the same university in 2015. Her thesis was based on biophysical sustainability indicators associated with soybean production in Argentina. For this, she applied the SUMMA tool (Sustainability MultiMethod Assessment) composed of 4 methods: EMergetic Synthesis, Analysis of Material Flows, Analysis of Embodied Energy and Carbon Emissions. She received training in the use of this tool at Parthenope University (Naples, Italy) in 2009. In 2018 she joined CONICET as Assistant Researcher and participated as a researcher in a PICTO, in which the impact of land use changes on the socio-ecological system was studied by evaluating the Ecosystem Services of the Chaco forests on a farm scale. For this, a participatory methodology composed of ethnographic tools was developed, which allowed a collective construction of knowledge, from different perspectives, and approaches. In 2020 she joined 3iA where she continues with the research on Ecosystem Services from an ethnoecological approach, now applied to the wetlands of the Paraná Delta.
