Aziz Ab'Saber

Aziz Nacib Ab'Sáber (pron. IPA2|aˈziz naˈsib abˈsabeh), (São Luís do Paraitinga, São Paulo state October 24, 1924) is a Brazilian geographer.

Ab'Sáber was the first person to classify scientifically the territory of Brazil in morphoclimatic domains. He also contributed to "refuge theory" or the "Pleistocene refuge hypothesis", an attempt to explain the distribution of Neotropical taxa as a function of their isolation in forest fragments during glacial periods, which allowed populations to speciate.

Aziz Ab'Sáber is an emeritus professor at the Universidade de São Paulo and a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
