Dr. Denneko Luke is a lecturer and research scientist with a speciality in Forest Ecology. His present research aims to determine climate change effects on Jamaica’s forested areas and species that maybe used in restoration efforts. His work includes the assessment of the cumulative effects of past hurricane disturbances at landscape level and the effect of topography on forest composition and plant distribution at the stand level. His research was instrumental in helping the Blue and John Crow Mountains (BJCM) to be inscribed as a World Heritage Site, and has led to local and international collaboration with researchers modelling hurricane effects. He has an interest in urban forestry and is interested in determining native species that can be used to mitigate climate change effects in the urban landscape.
