Description
Summary:7 páginas, 1 fotografía [EN]A short description of the work of Jack D. Ives is presented, as a tribute to this protagonist in the development of geoecological studies in mountain areas. His research in arctic and mountain environments (particularly the Rocky Mountains and the Himalayas) has provided a new global perspective, in which human activities and the organisation of human societies are the major factors explaining the complexity of mountain environments. [ES] Se hace una breve presentación de la obra de Jack D. Ives, uno de los grandes protagonistas del desarrollo de los estudios de Geoecología en las áreas de montaña. Con sus trabajos en ambientes fríos y de montaña (Montañas Rocosas e Himalaya, especialmente), Jack D. Ives ha proporcionado una nueva perspectiva global en la que la forma en que se organizan los grupos humanos y sus actividades son factores decisivos para explicar la complejidad de los ambientes de montaña.
