Bernard Goffinet- – Navarino – 2001
I have been traveling to Navarino ± every 2-3 years since 2000. I have participated in the development of the Ecotourism with a hand-lens program, lead by Dr. Ricardo Rozzi. Our first trip included a now epic navigation, which Dr. Rozzi refers to in the foreword on the book (#2) below; and if you join this course, you will certainly heard me tell the story!). I have co-authored three books on the miniature forests of the Cape Horn Region, with Dr. Rozzi:

I have focused my work on the diversity of bryophytes and lichens in the area. To know more about my research at UCONN check out my lab’s webpage. If you have any questions contact me.
