Tropical Ecology has been a focal point for Thomas Walla, PhD, since his first trip to Ecuador in 1991. Since that time he has sought to bring the wonders of tropical diversity to the classroom and his research program. Walla's research includes measuring the diversity of interactions along the eastern Andes to the Amazon. Most recently, he’s joined a team participating in the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition, funded by Elon Musk and the Musk Foundation.
