Episode 41 - Climate Biology with Fabian Ercan

Dr Fabian E.Z. Ercan is a broadly interested (climate) biologist who does not shy away from broader discussions concerning natural sciences, philosophy, engineering and history. The dimension of time plays an important role in biology, ecology and climate and in the resulting science of paleoecology. Fabian combines these disciplines in his field of climate biology, but also to philosophise about a changing environment and societal issues. With a lot of fieldwork experience in the arctic, he is an outgoing adventurer with a passion for teaching. Fabian obtained his PhD on ‘Growing Season Changes over the Past Millenium in Northern High Latitudes’ at Utrecht University.
