John Imbrie (July 4, 1925 – May 13, 2016) was an American paleoceanographer best known for his work on the theory of ice ages.
After serving with the 10th Mountain Division in Italy during World War II, Imbrie earned his bachelor's degree from Princeton University.
Imbrie was on the faculty of the Geological Sciences Department at Brown University from 1967,[4] where he held the Henry L. Doherty chair of Oceanography.
[6] Using ocean sediment cores, the Science paper verified the theories of Milutin Milanković that oscillations in climate over the past few million years are correlated with Earth's orbital variations of eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession around the Sun.
[7] John Imbrie was featured in the video documentary The Last Ridge: The Uphill Battles of the 10th Mountain Division.
