Since 1999, Luick has held the professorship for nature and environmental protection at the Rottenburg Forestry University . He became known through application-related research projects and publications on agricultural and nature conservation policy and technology assessment of the energy transition.

Life

Rainer Luick completed an apprenticeship as a gas and water fitter in his parents' company. In the following years he studied biology and ethnology at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in Freiburg im Breisgau until 1985, interrupted by a master’s degree (evolutionary biology) at the University of Michigan . His diploma thesis in 1984 "Vegetation studies of the crop fields in the southern Upper Rhine Plain" was supervised by Otti Wilmanns .

After working as a scientific employee at the Hamburg waterworks, Luick received his doctorate from 1991 to 1994 at the University of Hohenheim in a research project that dealt with questions about the renaturation of corn fields on soils affected by groundwater. Until 1999 Luick worked at the Institute for Landscape Ecology and Nature Conservation Singen.

Luick's scientific work has a strong application focus. Research fields are the design and impact of EU agricultural policy on biodiversity , fields of action of nature conservation and the effect of grazing animals on biocenoses, especially those of grassland . Another focus of his research and that of his working group at the Rottenburg University of Applied Sciences is the energetic use of biomass . Luick is also the ethics officer at his university. He is a reviewer in several national research programs, e.g. B. since 2003 member of the advisory board for nature conservation at the Ministry of the Environment in Baden-Württemberg. From 1994 to 2010 Luick was Executive Member / Director of the European Forum on Nature Conservation and Pastoralism.

Luick has been chairman of the supervisory board of Singener Solarcomplex AG and a member of the Konstanz district council since 2015.

Luick is married and has two children.
