Bare-throated Tiger Heron
I spotted this Bare-throated Tiger Heron (Tigrisoma mexicanum) wading through the stream that ran through our hotel in Puerto Jimenez. Taken on my recent holiday to Costa Rica over Christmas 2022.

I am a structural geologist working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Johannes Gutenberg–Universität Mainz and a hobbyist girl-with-camera.
My research focuses on the heterogeneities within large faults, shear zones, and subduction zone mélanges — how to map them, quantify them, and explain their origins. I am especially interested in 3D reconstructions of rocks and outcrops which allow detailed, realistic, and quantifiable models of natural phenomena. I also love to teach and I am interested in innovative and engaging methods of teaching earth sciences, both in the classroom and in the field.
In my free time, I enjoy photography and my images reflects my love of nature and the diverse forms nature can take.
