Adam is a writer, teacher, and conservationist working at the nexus between human kind and the spaces we inhabit. Having just begun a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies at UC, Santa Cruz, and with a B.A. in Natural History/Latin American Studies from Carleton College and a M.S. in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana, Adam has long sought an interdisciplinary understanding of the complex interactions between "nature" and society. Deeply inspired by mountains and their cultures, Adam´s recent work has focused on the diverse impacts--from burgeoning tourism to a warming world--reshaping alpine environments around the globe. Adam´s work has been published in Peripheria, Alpinist, The Mountain Gazette, Camas, The American Alpine Journal, and at Matador Travel.
