Fabio Crameri graduated from ETH Zurich with a PhD in Geophysics in 2013. Until 2020, he worked as a researcher at the University College in London and the University of Oslo on global-scale mantle convection in the Earth and on other silicate planets. Fabio developed numerical models, post-processing toolboxes, and up-to-date concepts like ‚Ocean-plate tectonics‘. He brought together experts across the Earth Sciences to build the transdisciplinary Subduction Zone Initiation (SZI) Database (www.szidatabase.org) and created ‚ProAc’ (www.fabiocrameri.ch/proac), the multi-metric academic profile for academic evaluation.
To promote accurate and inclusive science visuals, Fabio created the open-access graphics collection s-ink.org, designed the Scientific colour maps (www.fabiocrameri.ch/colourmaps), and propelled the necessary methodologic change-of-mind throughout academia. Since 2020, he founded Undertone.design for academic graphic design and joined ISSI as Communication Specialist.
Starting in the summer of 2020, the International Space Science Institute has organised the weekly on-line seminar series called “Game Changers”. After six series of weekly talks on the themes of “Missions that Changed the Game in Solar System, Astrophysics and Earth Sciences” , “Ideas and Findings about the Solar System, the Universe and our Terrestrial Environment”,“Habitability – From Cosmic to Microbial Scales”, “Viewing Earth from Space – the Changing Environment and Climate of our Planet”, and “Captivating Cosmology: From the Big Bang to Tomorrow” and the topic “Space Environmental Hazards: Mitigation and Prediction”, the webinar series continues on a monthly basis.
