Ecological science from cells to ecosystems and human well-being
Global change is threatening biodiversity, fundamentally altering our ability to secure a sustainable and equitable future for humanity.
The challenge for science is clear: we need to understand environmental change at scales that matter for ecosystems and people. Our mission is to advance understanding of biological responses to global change and contribute to solutions for people and nature.
Towards a mechanistic understanding of global change.
We aim to advance our fundamental understanding of the drivers of biodiversity change and the consequences of these changes for human well-being. Our research advances a solution to this research challenge by studying the processes that unite all of life on Earth – the metabolic processes by which living systems uptake, store and convert energy, matter and information from their environments to grow and persist. We combine theory, experiments and synthesis to study how living systems change as the environment changes, and what these changes mean for human well-being.
