}}Timothy Ian Eglinton {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FRS}}[2] is a professor of biogeoscience at the Geological Institute, ETH Zürich.[2]

Education

Eglinton was educated at Plymouth Polytechnic where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science in 1982. He went on to study at Newcastle University, where he was awarded a Master of Science degree{{when|date=September 2018}} and a PhD in 1988 for research investigating kerogens using pyrolysis.[3]

Research and career

Eglinton's research[1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9] is: {{centred pull quote|focussed on understanding of the processes that govern the Earth's carbon cycle from the molecular level to the global scale, and on the legacy of past biological activity and environmental conditions contained in organic signatures preserved in the geologic record.[10]}}

Eglinton has revolutionised studies of Earth's carbon cycle.[2] By developing an entirely new means of tracing the pathways of organic carbon in surface environments, ranging from eroding landforms to rivers, floodplains, the oceanic water column, microbial communities and marine sediments, he has replaced countless estimates and assumptions with accurately known transport times and carbon budgets.[2] His findings have illuminated and reconciled formerly discrepant paleoclimatic records, revealed new forms of microbial life, demonstrated that microorganisms can attack and remobilise billion-year-old organic material, and traced the pathways of petroleum-derived carbon in surface environments.[11]

Awards and honours

Eglinton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014.[11]

Personal life

Eglinton is the son of the organic chemist Geoffrey Eglinton.[11][12][13] He is married to Lorraine Eglinton, and has two daughters and one son.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}}
