Seasonal Isolation: The Latest Call for Action Regarding Climate Change

For my capstone, my team and I worked with Engineers in Action to design and provide relevant construction documents for a pedestrian footbridge to be built over the Coilolo River in Bolivia. During the rainy season, the river floods and separates nearby communities from essential infrastructure for months at a time. The capstone project relates closely to my STS research, where I analyzed the global scale and impact of this seasonal isolation and identified what must be needed and steps to mitigate the problem.
