Fabio Cian

My photographic research lies at the intersection of the human and natural world, analyzing global phenomena driven by anthropogenic forces.

My work is currently focused on climate science and climate change related matters. In particular, I'm interested in the scientific activities and practices that lie behind the study of Earth’s climate. I'm also interested in the impacts of climate change related disasters, such as floods, typhoons, and droughts, on the environment and the people that inhabit it. My working method is rooted in scientific research.

I obtained a certificate of Visual Storytelling from the International Center of Photography, New York. I hold a master’s degree in Space Engineering and a PhD in Science and Management of Climate Change.
I'm a scientist carrying out research on climate change, natural disaster management and financing. I have published several research papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
