Brian M. Giebel

Brian M. Giebel holds multiple roles at the City University of New York (CUNY) Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), including Deputy Executive Director, Director of ASRC, and Assistant Professor in the Environmental Sciences Initiative. His expertise integrates analytical and environmental chemistry with advanced techniques like separation science, mass spectrometry, and stable isotope biogeochemistry.

Research interests focus on measuring stable isotopes of atmospheric trace compounds (e.g., CO₂, hydrocarbons) and investigating the environmental behavior of organic contaminants. He employs methods such as gas chromatography isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-IRMS), liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and modeling/mapping to analyze chemical residues across soils, sediments, water, and air. Key questions driving his work include identifying contaminant sources, tracking accumulation hotspots, and quantifying degradation processes and timescales.

Recent publications (2022) reflect collaborative efforts in green science symposiums and studies on plastic degradation in natural environments. While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, his contributions highlight innovative approaches in environmental chemistry and contamination analysis.

Giebel collaborates closely with colleagues through the Advanced Laboratory for Chemical and Isotopic Signatures, focusing on interdisciplinary environmental research.
