Marc Macias-Fauria

Marc Macias-Fauria, Professor of Physical Geography at the Scott Polar Research Institute, studies how physical and biological parts of the Earth system interact, a field known as biogeosciences. His work focuses on cold regions such as the Arctic and alpine environments. He examines how vegetation, large herbivores, and climate influence each other, as well as how sea ice affects Arctic biota. He also leads the Biogeosciences research group and has written on geoengineering in polar regions.
