Wendy Jepson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Texas A&M University. She earned her doctorate from the Department of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles in 2003. Her research focuses on land-use and land-cover change along South America’s modern agricultural frontier, particularly the savannas and dry tropical forests, and the transformation of landscapes in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas. She also examines the relationship between water, society, and equity on the US-Mexico Border. She serves on the editorial board of Geo Journal: An International Journal of Geography
