Her research focuses on rocky intertidal shores and nearshore coastal ecosystems, with special emphasis on the ecology of seaweeds, plant-herbivore interactions, and community dynamics. Lubchenco served as president of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). She led the efforts of ESA to set national priorities for ecological research and provide ecological expertise to national policy makers. Lubchenco also co-coordinated part of the United Nations Environment Programme's Global Biodiversity Assessment. She serves on the scientific steering committee for Religion, Science and the Environment, an international partnership of scientists and religious leaders to promote environmental stewardship. Lubchenco chairs the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program, a project operated on behalf of ESA to train environmental scientists to be effective communicators and leaders.
