Markus Fiebig

Markus Fiebig is a Professor at the Institute of Applied Geology, Department of Natural Sciences and Sustainable Resources, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His research focuses on Quaternary Geology, Hydrogeology, and Climate Change, with particular emphasis on landscape development, natural hazards, and sustainability in Alpine regions.

• Current affiliation: BOKU, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna
• Academic rank: Professor

Dr. Fiebig's research spans geochronology, glacial history, and sedimentology, utilizing techniques like luminescence dating and cosmogenic nuclide analysis. His work investigates Pleistocene glaciations, river valley incision, and tectonic influences on Alpine landscapes. He has led significant projects such as Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys (DOVE) and MOUNTAIN GLACIER SENSITIVITY TO CLIMATE CHANGE, funded by institutions like the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and European Commission.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to dating methods (e.g., P-PINI inversion), sediment provenance in the Eastern Alps, and Holocene glacial dynamics. His supervised theses explore topics like adaptation of Alpine trail networks to climate change and geoethical water management. Dr. Fiebig actively collaborates with international teams and participates in conferences such as INQUA-SEQS and EGU General Assembly.

As a key figure in the ICDP-DOVE project, he advances understanding of Alpine glaciations' extent and impact. His interdisciplinary approach bridges geology, environmental science, and sustainable development, addressing challenges posed by climate change and resource protection in mountainous regions.
