DESCRIPTION:Euan Nisbet’s research is broadly in two areas of Earth Scie
 nce.\n\nEarly Earth work is based on fieldwork in the Archaean (2.5 to 4 b
 illion year old) rocks of Canada\, Zimbabwe/South Africa and Australia. Wo
 rk on the Early Earth is summarised by a Treatise on Geochemistry chapter 
 with CMR Fowler (2nd ed 2013)\, and by NT Arndt and EG Nisbet in Annual Re
 view of Earth and Planetary Sciences (2012).\n\nResearch into Modern and G
 lacial Atmospheres has mainly focussed on Methane in the modern air\, incl
 uding the role of methane in Arctic climate change\, methane hydrates and 
 their role in global warming\, and the task of assessing present day atmos
 pheric methane burden. The atmospheric laboratory at Royal Holloway is a k
 ey centre for measurement of carbon isotopes in methane.  Current work inc
 ludes major projects on Arctic and Tropical Atmospheric Methane budgets.\n
 \nThe Equianos network monitors greenhouse gases at a number of stations f
 rom the Arctic to the Antarctic and on a ship travelling from north to sou
 th in the Atlantic.\n\nEuan Nisbet has written three single author books a
 nd edited several multi—author volumes. The Young Earth was a core text 
 on Archaean geology.  Leaving Eden (CUP) is translated into German. There 
 have also been Chinese translations of Leaving Eden and Arndt and Nisbet (
 eds) Komatiites.
