Jineth Berrío-Martínez supports different ongoing research projects that combine theoretical, empirical and modelling approaches at the Stockholm Resilience Centre.

Berrío-Martínez is currently working on the “Building models of, with and for sustainability transformations” – TransMod project that aims to advance understanding and build theories of sustainability transformation. As part of the so-called TransMod project, she mainly supports the literature review processes and facilitates meetings and workshop sessions.

She has also worked on the modelling components of the TEMPO research project that studies temporary fishing closures as social-ecological systems and the research project “Navigating the complexity of small-scale fishery interventions: An intersection of agent-based modeling and participatory empirical research” – OctoPINTS project lead by Emilie Lindkvist as well as the “Approaches to causation in the social and natural sciences and their implications for theory building in sustainability science – CauSES project lead by Maja Schlüter.

Berrío-Martínez previously worked with conservation NGOs in Colombia for almost five years, where she conducted different projects and monitoring programs within protected areas and wider landscapes. While working with these organizations, she supported participatory planning processes at local and regional scales on the Amazon and Andean regions. These experiences have reinforced her ideas about the importance of systems approaches, transdisciplinary and collaborative work for sustainable development.

Berrío-Martínez is a biologist by training, and she holds a Master’s degree in natural resource management from the University of Alicante in Spain and a Master’s degree in Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development from Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University in Sweden. During her recent masters thesis, she explored ecological outcomes and fishers’ benefits from periodic octopus closures using an individual-based modelling approach. This work was part of the OctoPINTS project. Additionally, she has received training from the Conservation Coaches Network to support Conservation Standards based projects and programs.

Berrío-Martínez is an active member of the SES-LINK team and the Conservation Coaches Network CCNET Europe.
