Sebastian Candiago

Dr. Sebastian Candiago is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Professorship of Ecological Services, Department of Earth Science, Faculty of Biology, Chemistry and Earth Sciences at the University of Bayreuth since October 2023. His research bridges geography, climate science, and environmental management with a focus on agricultural landscapes and ecosystem services.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Science and Management of Climate Change from Ca' Foscari University of Venice (2018-2023)
• M.Res. in Science and Management of Climate Change from Ca' Foscari University of Venice (2018)
• M.Sc. in Geography and Territorial Processes from Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna (2012-2014)
• B.Sc. in Geographical Sciences from Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna (2009-2012)

Dr. Candiago's research focuses on understanding how global changes impact agricultural landscapes, with particular emphasis on ecosystem services, geospatial modeling, and landscape ecology. His interdisciplinary approach examines traditional landscapes to inform sustainable management strategies and policy decisions. His work frequently centers on viticulture regions, mountain environments, and the Alpine region, exploring complex relationships between human activities, climate change, and ecosystem functioning. He employs advanced geospatial techniques to address environmental challenges in agricultural contexts.

His publication record shows a strong trajectory in climate change impacts on agricultural systems, especially vineyards, and ecosystem service assessment methodologies. Recent work emphasizes climate resilience of European wine regions, geospatial inventories of protected designation specifications, and multi-pressure analyses of ecosystem services in mountain areas. His research combines empirical field studies with sophisticated spatial analysis.

Dr. Candiago collaborates extensively with researchers across Europe, particularly in Italy, Germany, and other Alpine countries, contributing to transdisciplinary understanding of environmental challenges in mountainous regions. His work effectively bridges scientific research with practical applications for sustainable land management and climate adaptation strategies.
