Maria Luisa Fernandez-Marcos
Maria Luisa Fernandez-Marcos graduated in Chemical Sciences from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in 1976. She obtained her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 1985, specializing in Soil Science. Between 1979 and 1987 she was a secondary school teacher.
Since 1987 she is a professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, in the area of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, where she has taught Soil Science, Environmental Pollution and related subjects. Her main research lines are: soil chemistry, soil fertility and management, biogeochemical cycles, soil and water pollution, environmental soil science, waste management and recycling, tropical soils, climate change mitigation and adaptation.
She is a member of the Spanish Society of Soil Science, Soil Science Society of America, International Union of Soil Sciences and Ibero-American Society of Environmental Physics and Chemistry.
Xinlei Ge
Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering, specialized in atmospheric chemistry (in particular aerosol characterization and air pollution), environmental chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, solid waste ultilization etc. He has published more than 100 SCI paper in the field of environmental science, with >50 of them being the first or corresponding authors, with a total ISI citation over 2000 times.
Brian T Glazer
The long-term vision that drives our research is to develop an understanding of the synergy between geochemical processes and microbial diversity and function. In pursuit of this over-arching goal, it is also a high priority to minimize sampling artifacts for measuring many (micro)biologically important chemical species in the environment through further development of in situ measurement techniques and instrumentation.
Alex B Guenther
Professor of Earth System Science and author of more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles. Elected fellow, American Geophysical Union. Recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher by Thompson Reuters. Associate editor of several journals and chair of the Global Emissions Inventory Activity (GEIA) and Integrated Land-Ecosystem Process Study (iLEAPS) core activities of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP). Contributing author, Third and Fourth Assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Lionel Guidi
I have been a CNRS researcher since 2013 in Villefranche-sur-Mer, one of the three marine stations of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 06) in France.
I graduated in 2008 from the Sorbonne Universités, UPMC, Université Paris 06, and Texas A&M University in Texas, USA. Shortly after graduation, I started four years of postdoctoral research at the C-MORE (Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education) at the University of Hawaii.
My main research interests are driven by the need to better understand the global carbon cycle, and, in particular, the biological carbon pump, from gene to the ecosystem level. In order to achieve that goal, I had early motivation to bring “standard methods” together with new instruments and analytical tools to study the biology and biogeochemistry of the ocean.
Jan-Hendrik Hehemann
Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and at the Marum, the Center for Marine Environmental Science at the University of Bremen.
Researching algal polysaccharides in the Marine Glycobiology group.
Kai-Uwe Hinrichs
A biogeochemist studying the interactions between microbial life and the carbon cycle on a range of spatial, temporal and molecular scales. Interested in which and how microbes shape element cycles and what the related environmental consequences are.
Current research foci encompass the marine deep biosphere, methane biogeochemistry, life in extreme environments, development of new analytical protocols for the analysis of organic trace constituents in geological sample matrices, prokaryotic membrane lipid taxonomy, and the study of paleoenvironments.
Julie A Hope
Research fellow at the University of Auckland, NZ working on the effects of various anthropogenic stressors on soft sediment benthic ecosystem function.
Edward R C Hornibrook
Edward Hornibrook is a Professor at The University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus and the current Head of the Department of Earth, Environmental and Geographic Sciences. 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.
Cho-ying Huang
Cho-ying Huang is a professor in the Department of Geography at National Taiwan University. His research interests include global ecology, terrestrial biogeochemistry and remote sensing of the environment.
I. Emma Huertas
Tenured Scientist at the High Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). Research interests include marine biogeochemistry with special emphasis on carbon cycle in the coastal fringe (estuaries, salt marshes and continental margins) and the open ocean. My research lines focus on air-water CO2 fluxes and the coupling between inorganic carbon dynamics and biological and physical processes. More recently, I am also investigating the exchange of non CO2 greenhouse gases (CH4 and N2O) between the atmosphere and the marine domain. Phytoplankton dynamics and their adaptation to global change is also considered.
Oriol Jorba
Oriol Jorba born in Barcelona (Spain, 9 July 1975), Industrial Engineer (Technical University of Catalonia - UPC-, Barcelona, Spain, 1999); Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering (Technical University of Catalonia -UPC-, Barcelona, Spain, 2005). In 2005, he was enrolled as researcher at the Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and in 2008 moved to the Atmospheric Modelling Group Manager position at BSC. Since 2016, he is senior researcher of the Atmospheric Composition Group at BSC. He has participated in projects funded by the European Commission and the Spanish Government on air quality, aerosols, and in the application of atmospheric modeling in HPC. He has lead the research project on the development of the multiscale chemical weather forecasting system NMMB-MONARCH which is the official model used by the Barcelona Dust Forecast Center (BDFC), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Regional Meteorological Center specializing in Atmospheric Sand and Dust. As scientific reviewer of the Scientific Commission of the Spanish National Research Program, his research expertise includes high resolution mesoscale meteorology and air quality, development of online meteorology-chemistry models, boundary layer, atmospheric chemistry studies and environmental impact assessment.
