TERRER LAB | Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, MIT
We leverage field and satellite data to advance knowledge about the terrestrial carbon cycle.
The focus of the Terrer Lab is terrestrial ecosystem ecology. We study how climate change and anthropogenic activities affect ecosystems, and, conversely, how ecosystem dynamics modulate climate change. We synthesize large datasets of field observations and remote sensing data using meta-analysis, machine learning, and other statistical methods to better understand the global functioning of terrestrial ecosystems.

Inclusion in science starts by inclusion in the lab.
Climate change is a global challenge, but its impacts and solutions are different around the world. We believe diversity is a key factor to provide solutions to tackle this challenge worldwide. Thus, the Terrer Lab embrace diversity as a necessity and an advantage for our common goal.
Inclusion is how we unleash the power of diversity. We believe that a diverse mix of minds, backgrounds and experiences generate the greatest ideas. Our approach to diversity is simple - it’s about embracing everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes them unique.
