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

Burba 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.

He 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. He is 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]

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]

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.

Career and research

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.

Personal life

George Burba is a son of ru:George A. Burba and a grandson of Aleksandr A. Burba.
