The Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability at Duke University accelerates solutions to critical energy and environmental challenges, advancing a more just, resilient, and sustainable world.
The Nicholas Institute conducts and supports actionable research and undertakes sustained engagement with policymakers, businesses, and communities—in addition to delivering transformative educational experiences to empower future leaders. The Nicholas Institute’s work is aligned with the Duke Climate Commitment, which unites the university’s education, research, operations, and external engagement missions to address climate challenges.
Brittany Lancellotti’s previous research has focused on assessing the complexities of soil nutrient cycling and ephemeral stream hydrology within the scope of improving downstream water quality. She enjoys using a variety of methodologies to study natural systems, including machine learning and geospatial techniques, molecular biology approaches, and soil science methods. At the Nicholas Institute, she will support the Climate TRACE project by synthesizing data and information produced by the coalition to share with a broad scientific audience.
