THE ARC OF WALLY BROECKER’S CAREER

Wally Broecker came to Lamont Geological Observatory as a summer student after his junior year of college. He completed his undergraduate education at Columbia, and by the time he received the bachelor’s degree, he was essentially in charge of the Lamont Radiocarbon Laboratory. His PhD thesis applied radiocarbon dating to two great topics: ocean circulation and glacial-interglacial climate change. In a career that lasted over 60 years, Wally combined his core interests in these two topics with an amazingly diverse range of related studies.
