Jörg Kaduk

Jörg Kaduk serves as an Associate Professor at the University of Leicester within the School of Geography, Geology and the Environment. His research focuses on critical environmental systems with particular emphasis on peatland ecosystems, carbon cycling, and climate change impacts.

His primary research interests span peatland ecology, carbon cycle modeling, remote sensing applications, climate change impacts on ecosystems, forest fire dynamics, and vegetation phenology. Kaduk's work integrates field measurements with advanced modeling techniques to understand biogeochemical processes across diverse landscapes from tropical forests to boreal regions.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a strong focus on peatland carbon dynamics under climate change and anthropogenic pressures, with significant contributions to understanding greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural peatlands. His research employs cutting-edge remote sensing methodologies including multi-frequency SAR, Landsat imagery, and machine learning algorithms for environmental monitoring, particularly in pollution impact assessment in regions like the Niger Delta.

Kaduk actively collaborates with international research teams across multiple continents, as evidenced by his co-authorship on studies spanning Malaysia, Siberia, West Africa, and the UK. His work bridges fundamental ecological understanding with practical applications for climate mitigation and sustainable land management.
