Tiempos de Muralismo (2019–present) is a community-centered arts–science initiative led by the SECOS Millennium Institute that explores co-creative approaches to socio-ecological research. Building on Chile’s muralist tradition, the project brings together scientific, territorial, and traditional knowledge through participatory art, oral history, mapping, and creative practice to foster climate resilience and ocean sustainability. Working closely with coastal communities in Chile, the initiative engages artists, scientists, educators, and residents through co-creation workshops, artist residencies, scientific illustration, immersive media, and school collaborations. Together, these activities transform public spaces into platforms for dialogue, collective storytelling, and shared knowledge creation.

Visualizing 90 Years of Water Tower Transformation in the Peruvian Andes is a National Geographic Society-supported research initiative exploring how glacier retreat is transforming mountain ecosystems, water resources, and the lives of Indigenous communities in Peru’s Cordillera Vilcanota. Using historical and satellite imagery, repeat photography, interactive mapping, and community engagement, the project documents 90 years of glacier change and its environmental, cultural, and social impacts. The StoryMap combines scientific research with Indigenous knowledge to support stewardship of Andean water resources and inform climate adaptation through participatory mapping, climate education, and community dialogue.
