Marc Zebisch is a Senior Researcher at the European Academy (EURAC), Institute for Alpine Environment, Bolzano and specialized in monitoring and modeling land-use dynamics and consequences of global change by means of GIS, remote sensing and modeling techniques. Marc Zebisch graduated at the Potsdam University (Institute for Geoecology) and obtained his Ph.D. at the Technical University of Berlin (Institute for Landscape Development) in 2004. At the Potsdam University he was a co-worker in projects on land-use dynamics in Mongolia and the impacts of land use on the water cycle. From 2000 – 2005 he was working at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) where he wrote his Ph.D. on modeling the consequences of land-use changes on biodiversity. In the last two years at PIK he contributed as co-author to the EEA-report ‘Impacts of Europe’s changing climate’ and as a leading author to the report ‘Climate Change in Germany – Vulnerability and Adaptation of Climate sensitive Systems’ financed by the German Federal Environment Agency. In May 2005 he moved to Bolzano, Italy. Currently he is working at EURAC on identifying sensitive regions within the alpine space and on monitoring historical and recent land-use changes in the Alps.
