Edward R C Hornibrook
Summary
Edward Hornibrook is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus and the UBCO Associate Vice-Principal, Research and Innovation. He is a biogeochemist specializing in stable isotopes with research interests in land-water-atmosphere exchange of trace gases. He employs a range of techniques, including gas and ion chromatography, laser spectroscopy and stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry, to study gases that have the potential to alter Earth’s climate, in particular, methane and carbon dioxide. Key topics are how such gases are produced and consumed in natural and anthropogenic environments, and the rates and mechanisms by which they are exchanged with the atmosphere.
