Dr. Yubin Hu, Associate Research Scientist at the Institute of Marine Science and Technology, Shandong University.

Dr. Hu majored in Marine Chemistry. His research focuses on sea ice biogeochemistry, marine carbon cycle and ocean acidification. He has rich experience in Polar and near sea expedition. During his research in sea ice carbon chemistry, he developed a new simple method for sea ice DIC sampling; clarified the conditions leading to ikaite formation in sea ice; proposed a hypothesis that ikaite could co-precipitate phosphate in sea ice, which opens a new research area on sea ice biogeochemistry. His current work also includes mitigating ocean acidification as well as enhancing marine carbon sink by means of geoengineering.
