Wallace Smith Broecker

Wallace Smith Broecker, known as Wally, was an American geochemist who lived from 1931 to 2019, who developed the idea of a global conveyor belt linking the circulation of the global ocean, made significant contributions to carbon cycle science, and popularized the term global warming in 1975. He was Newberry Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University and a scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. He received the Maurice Ewing Medal in 1979, the Alexander Agassiz Medal in 1986, the Vetlesen Prize in 1987, the National Medal of Science in 1996 and the Crafoord Prize in 2006. He received the Wollaston Medal in 1990. He is also live on this family own earth atlas as a scientist entity for the same geochemistry work, a legitimate width mint of the same historically significant figure rather than a duplication.
