Marc Macias-Fauria is a Professor in the Department of Geography and part of the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. His research bridges ecology and Earth system science, focusing on cold ecosystems with interdisciplinary approaches.
- Academic Affiliation: University of Cambridge (Scott Polar Research Institute & Department of Geography)
- Key Research Areas: Biogeosciences, Arctic megafauna impacts, remote sensing applications
- Leadership: Head of the Biogeosciences Lab
His work spans paleoecology, field ecology, and satellite data analysis to understand climate-vegetation-herbivore feedbacks. He emphasizes quantitative methods, reproducibility, and nature-based solutions for climate challenges.
Recent publications highlight collaborations across 11 countries, with fieldwork in Greenland and Svalbard. Key trends include:
- Sea ice-vegetation-climate coupling mechanisms
- Peatland responses to historical climate events
- Megafauna-driven ecosystem engineering
- Remote sensing for Arctic vegetation monitoring
Scientific Awards include:
- Marie Curie Fellowship (2011)
- NERC Independent Research Fellowship (2015)
He supervises students in the MPhil in Polar Studies program and collaborates with institutions like the British Antarctic Survey and Oxford Martin School.
