George Burba

George Burba is a Science & Strategy Fellow at LI-COR Biosciences, a Global Fellow  at Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute, and Graduate Adjunct Professor at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

He is a bio-atmospheric scientist, and a leading figure 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 and other publications on the subject.

Burba is an expert on the in-situ measurement methods: an author of instrument surface heating concept, related equations known as “Burba corrections”,https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C28&q=%22Burba+correction%22&btnG=https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C28&q=burba+%22heating+correction%22&btnG=
and an inventor of the two types of gas analyzers known as “enclosed-path”

and “semi-open-path”, and an inventor of methods for computing gas fluxes from the open-path high-speed laser-based analyzers and from the multiple types of low-speed gas analyzers. He is an elected Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors.
