He has authored over 80 archaeological reports and numerous peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing faunal analysis and prehistoric subsistence strategies.
His teaching highlights include courses in general anthropology, zooarchaeology, and cultural resource management. Awards include the Distinguished Teaching Award (2017), Faculty Mentor Award (2007), and Excellence in Teaching Award (2005). Lubinski leads the CWU Zooarchaeology Laboratory and oversees projects like the Wenas Creek Mammoth Site investigation, which explores Pleistocene ecology and faunal remains.
His research spans topics such as bone taphonomy, paleohydrology, and morphological analyses of vertebrate remains. He collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, including studies of fish remains in Paisley Caves (Oregon) and craniometric comparisons in Andean populations. Current initiatives include quantifying fish size estimates and artiodactyl mortality profiles.
Lubinski advises students on zooarchaeological methods and fieldwork. His contributions to archaeology include advancing faunal identification protocols and promoting rigorous methodologies in cultural resource management.
