Broecker) Wallace "Wally" Smith Broecker (November 2 1931 - February 18, 2019) was an American geochemist. He was the Newberry Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University, a scientist at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and a sustainability fellow at Arizona State University." He developed the idea of a global "conveyor belt” linking the circulation of the global ocean and made major contributions to the science of the carbon cycle and the use of chemical tracers and isotope dating in oceanography. Broecker popularized the term "global warming". He received the Crafoord Prize and the Vetlesen Prize. Life Born in Chicago in 1931,!2) he attended Wheaton College and interacted with J. Laurence Kulp, Paul Gast, and Karl Turekian. At Wheaton, he met his wife Grace Carder. Broecker then transferred to Columbia University, graduating in 1953 with a B.A. and a Ph.D. in 1958.31 At Columbia, he worked at the Lamont Geological Observatory!) with W. Maurice Ewing’?! and Walter Bucher [5] In 1975, Broecker popularized the term global warming when he published a paper titled: "Climatic Change: Are we on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?”;!5! the phrase had previously appeared in a 1957 newspaper report about Roger _Revelle’s research.!7) Broecker co-wrote an account of climate science with the science journalist, Robert Kunzig.

Days before his death, he gave a Institutions Columbia University, Lamont— Doherty Earth Observatory; Arizona State University, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability livestreamed video message to his fellow scientists, where he said that humankind was not moving quickly enough to stop global warming and urged the scientific community to "seriously study more extreme solutions to the climate crisis."“4/113] Research Broecker's areas of research included Pleistocene geochronology, radiocarbon dating and chemical oceanography, including oceanic mixing based on stable and radioisotope distribution. This included research on the biogeochemical cycles of the element carbon and on the record of climate change contained in polar ice and ocean sediments.!41 Broecker authored more than 500 journal articles and 17 books.!"4] He is perhaps best known for his discovery of the role played by the ocean in triggering the abrupt climate changes which punctuated glacial time, in particular the development and popularization of the idea of a global "ocean conveyor" linking the circulation of the world's oceans.!41l5] However, his contributions stretch far beyond the "conveyor"; his work is the foundation of carbon cycle science, and his applications of radiocarbon to paleoceanography are landmarks in the field. His work with chemical tracers in the ocean is integral to modern chemical oceanography; indeed, his textbook "Tracers in the Sea", authored with Tsung- Hung Peng, is still cited in the contemporary literature 25 years after its publication. [6Il17] Broecker wrote about his research, on mode changes in the thermohaline circulation: "We have clear evidence that different parts of the earth's climate system are linked in very subtle yet dramatic ways. The climate system has jumped from one mode of operation to another in the past. We are trying to understand how the earth's climate system is engineered, so we can understand what it takes to trigger mode switches. Until we do, we cannot make good predictions about future climate change."28) Fellowships and awards an‘1a24, 289M Wallace Smith Broscker- Wikipedia Broecker was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, Foreign Member of the Royal Society, a resident member of the American Philosophical Society,9] and a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and European Geophysical Union.

His citation was made by Enric Banda (Research Professor of Geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences in Barcelona):!22) For his extraordinary contributions to the understanding of climate change through his discoveries concerning the role of the oceans and their interactions with the reeeeriemrenrs atmosphere, as well as the role of glacial changes and the Suan pave wirmers and Glove records contained in ice cores and ocean sediments. His Napolitano, President of ltaly contributions have been significant in understanding both gradual and abrupt climate change. In 2009, Broecker was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Climate Change category for his research into the world’s oceans, pioneering "the development of Earth System Science as the basis for understanding global climate change, both past and present”. The award certificate also highlights “his holistic approach", which has led him to identify "the mechanisms of abrupt climate change" (28) Broecker received honorary doctorates from Cambridge University, Oxford University, Pennsylvania State University, Harvard University, and Southern Methodist University, among others. On May 28, 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Harvard University.!29] Selected books = Broecker, Wallace S.; Oversby, Virginia M.
