ABOUT JOHN'S WORK
John Imbrie studies the causes and mechanisms of climate change on time scales that range from decades to many millions of years.

Imbrie’s main contribution has been to help unravel the causes of the succession of glacial and interglacial ages.  By following up clues that this succession is driven by variations in the Earth’s orbit, which change the geographic and seasonal patterns of incoming solar radiation, he has identified those parts of the climate system that are sensitive to changes in radiation.  He has also shown how initial responses in these places activate physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms that lead to major alterations in global climate.

BIOGRAPHY
Imbrie is the Henry L. Doherty Professor Emeritus of Oceanography in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University.  Prior to joining the Brown faculty in 1967, he was a professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at Columbia University (1952-1967).  He has also held adjunct positions in oceanography at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and at the University of Rhode Island.

Imbrie received a B.A. (1948) from Princeton University, and an M.S. (1949) and a Ph.D. (1951) from Yale University.

关于约翰的工作
约翰-英布利研究气候变化的原因和机制，其时间尺度从几十年到几百万年不等。

英布利的主要贡献是帮助解开冰川期和间冰期连续的原因。 通过追踪地球轨道的变化，改变了太阳辐射进入的地理和季节模式的线索，他已经确定了气候系统中那些对辐射变化敏感的部分。 他还展示了这些地方的初始反应如何激活物理、化学和生物机制，从而导致全球气候的重大改变。

个人简历
英布利是布朗大学地质科学系海洋学的Henry L. Doherty荣誉教授。 在1967年加入布朗大学的教师队伍之前，他是哥伦比亚大学地质科学系的教授（1952-1967）。 他还在哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特-多尔蒂地质观测站和罗得岛大学担任海洋学方面的兼职。

英布利在普林斯顿大学获得学士学位（1948年），在耶鲁大学获得硕士学位（1949年）和博士学位（1951年）。
