Fabian Fopp

Fabian Fopp is a Teaching Coordinator in the Ecosystems and Landscape Evolution research group at ETH Zurich. He specializes in investigating biodiversity patterns across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in Switzerland, employing range mapping and species distribution modeling to understand environmental factors that shape diversity patterns. As the teaching coordinator, he oversees several bachelor and master courses focused on environmental data science, eDNA for biodiversity monitoring, and spatial analysis in R. His work combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications in spatial modeling for environmental system sciences students. Fopp's research interests focus on understanding how environmental factors influence species distribution and diversity patterns in Swiss ecosystems. As a guest scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research, he contributes to research on Swiss ecosystem diversity patterns and develops innovative approaches to biodiversity monitoring and assessment.
