Marc Zebisch is the scientific head of EURAC's Institute for Applied Remote Sensing and member of the Institute for Alpine Environment.
He is specialized in monitoring and modeling land-use dynamics and the consequences of global change by means of remote sensing, GIS and computer models.
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 involved in remote sensing 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 PhD 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. He is working at EURAC since May 2005.
