George Burba is an American bio-atmospheric scientist, author, and inventor.

He is a Science & Strategy Fellow at LI-COR Biosciences, a Global Fellow[1] at Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute, and a Graduate Adjunct Professor[2] at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Burba is an experimental researcher, and a leading figure[3][4][5] in micrometeorology, ecosystem gas and energy exchange, and the measurements of turbulent transport of greenhouse and other gases, water vapor and energy within atmospheric boundary layer, canopy and soil layers; and an author of the multiple books[6][7][8][9][10][11] on the subject, used by the universities and teaching institutions across the globe,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] as well as numerous other publications.[4][19]

Research and career[]

Burba is an expert on the in-situ measurement methods: an author of instrument surface heating concept,[20][21] related equations known as “Burba corrections”,[22][23][24][25][26] an inventor[27] of the two new types of gas analyzers known as “enclosed-path”[28][29] and “semi-open-path”[30] analyzers, and an inventor of methods for computing gas fluxes from the open-path high-speed laser-based analyzers,[31][32][33][34][35] and from the multiple types of low-speed gas analyzers.[36][37] He is an elected Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors.[38]

After his PhD, Burba worked as a graduate faculty at the University of Nebraska and as a scientist at the LI-COR Biosciences. In 2016, he was appointed Global Fellow at Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute. At LI-COR Biosciences, he was appointed to the position of Science Fellow in 2017, and to the position of Science & Strategy Fellow in 2019. The same year he was elected a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors.

Education[]

Burba was educated at Lomonosov Moscow State University and at the University of Nebraska where he received a PhD in 2005[39] in Bio-Atmospheric Sciences for the study of water, light and energy transport in the ecosystems, supervised by Professor Shashi Verma.

Personal life[]

George Burba is a son of ru:George A. Burba and a grandson of Aleksandr A. Burba.[citation needed]
