Joerg Kaduk

Dr. Joerg Kaduk is an Associate Professor in Earth System Science at the School of Geography, Geology & the Environment, University of Leicester, where he conducts research on terrestrial carbon cycling and land-atmosphere interactions. He is affiliated with the Institute for Environmental Futures and Space Park Leicester, and serves as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Authority.

His educational background includes a first degree in Mathematics with minor Theoretical Physics from Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, with a year abroad as a DAAD exchange student at Imperial College London. He specialized in control theory before pursuing a PhD in Geosciences at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, where he developed the global terrestrial vegetation carbon cycle model SILVAN.

Dr. Kaduk's research focuses on Earth system modeling, particularly the integration of carbon cycle dynamics with land surface processes. His work involves coupled carbon cycle-land surface modeling and extensive use of eddy covariance data to validate models. He currently leads a network of eddy covariance stations in East Anglia, contributing to regional carbon flux monitoring.

Though no publications are listed in the provided text, his research trajectory indicates strong contributions to environmental modeling, ecosystem science, and biophysical interactions at the land surface, with applications in climate change and sustainability science.
