Biography

Fabian works at the interface of glaciology, water resources and climate change adaptation in the Tropical Andes with a regional focus in Peru. He holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Zurich with which he has collaborated on the Glaciers Project (2012-2019). Between 2019 and 2022 he was a postdoc at Imperial College London coordinating a part of the RAHU Project on water security in the Andes of Peru. Fabian has contributed to the recently published report of Working Group II of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on water resources adaptation in Central and South America. Currently, Fabian works as an assistant professor in the Geography and the Environment section at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (Lima, Peru).
