John Imbrie

John Imbrie was an influential American scientist known for his work in paleoclimatology, significantly advancing our understanding of climate change and Earth's historical climate patterns. He is best known for his research on the Milankovitch cycles, which describe how changes in Earth's orbit and tilt affect its climate over thousands of years. Imbrie's studies were crucial in linking geological evidence with climatic shifts, helping to clarify the natural causes behind ice ages and warming periods. His work laid the foundation for later climate science, emphasizing the importance of long-term climate records in understanding current global warming trends.
