Ana Maria Zapata Mccormick

GIS & RS technical specialist (COL)

I am a GIS and Remote Sensing Analyst with over 15 years of experience specializing in the analysis of historical and projected deforestation, database management, and land use/land cover evaluation through advanced digital processing of satellite imagery.

My expertise lies in analysis and mapping for forestry and land-use projects, and the development of Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) methodologies to support nature-based projects. I am also skilled in ensuring quality assurance within geospatial processes.

I also have experience in the public sector, having worked with the Planning Department of the Municipality of Medellín. There, I contributed to the revision and adjustment of the Land Use Plan and the evaluation of public policies related to environmental risk.
