Lab TabsNews Mar 08 2022 New faculty at Carnegie's Department of Global Ecology bring a range of expertise By Carnegie HQ Washington, DC— New powerhouse scientific talent with broad expertise ranging from marine and freshwater biogeochemistry to terrestrial ecosystem science to climate change adaptation and mitigation ... Our ResearchThe Dukes Lab studies how people are affecting Earth. Researchers in the lab study how ecosystems respond to environmental disruptions such as climate change and invasive species, and also conduct more basic research to better characterize how species and ecosystems work. Researchers most frequently study plants and microbes, and use experiments and models to ask questions across a wide variety of subdisciplines, including ecophysiology; community, ecosystem, and global ecology; and biogeochemistry. Ultimately, the laboratory seeks to help people better understand how particular actions and choices are likely to influence the environment. Lab PI Jeffrey Dukes Senior Staff Scientist Global EcologyCarnegie Institution for Science jdukes@carnegiescience.edu Office: iDProfileBioJeff Dukes is a senior staff scientist in the Department of Global Ecology. Previously, he was a professor at Purdue University, where he held the Belcher Chair for Environmental Sustainability in the College of Agriculture and directed the Purdue Climate Change Research Center. Dr. Dukes’s research examines how plants and ecosystems respond to a changing environment, focusing on topics from invasive species to climate change. Much of his experimental work seeks to inform and improve climate models. Dr. Dukes received a Ph.D from Stanford University and a bachelor’s degree from Brown University, both in Biological Sciences. He has been elected a Fellow and named a Public Engagement Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and he is a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America. As the director of the Purdue Climate Change Research Center, Dr. Dukes led the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment. Recent publications can be found on his Google Scholar page.
