Qianhui (Emma) Qin, Ph.D

Research

Qianhui (Emma) Qin is interested in the biogeochemistry of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that’s about 28 times stronger than carbon dioxide. She’s particularly focused on the measurement of the methane oxidation rates of methanotrophs in the ocean, and clumped isotope signatures of methane in oceanic sediments. She also does methanogen cultivations to find out isotope fractionations of different methanogenesis pathways.
