- John Imbrie (* 4. Juli 1925 in Penn Yan, New York; † 13. Mai 2016 in , Rhode Island) war ein US-amerikanischer Geologe und Paläoklimatologe. Er gilt als einer der Begründer der Paläozeanographie und ist bekannt dafür, dass er Nachweise für astronomische Ursachen der Entstehung der Eiszeiten fand. Imbrie wuchs im Staat New York auf und studierte am Coe College in Cedar Rapids und an der Princeton University (Bachelor 1948). Er machte 1949 seinen Master-Abschluss in Geologie an der Yale University und wurde dort 1951 promoviert. Danach war er an der Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution und ab 1952 Assistant Professor an der Columbia University, wo er radioaktive Datierungstechniken am Lamont Doherty Geological Observatory studierte. Er war schließlich Professor und Vorstand der Geologischen Fakultät an der Columbia University und seit 1967 Professor an der Brown University, zuletzt als Henry L. Doherty Professor of Oceanography. 1981 wurde er MacArthur Fellow. 1986 erhielt er die Maurice-Ewing-Medaille der American Geophysical Union und 1991 die William Twenhofel Medaille der Society for Sedimentary Geology. 1994 erhielt er die Wilbur Cross Medal. Er war Mitglied der National Academy of Sciences (1978), der American Geological Society, der American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1981), der American Philosophical Society und der American Meteorological Society. 1990 erhielt er die Leopold-von-Buch-Plakette. Während seiner Beteiligung (ab Ende der 1960er) Jahre am CLIMAP-Projekt fand er in Ozeansedimenten Bestätigung für die Milankovic-Theorie der Eiszeitentstehung. Dazu entwickelte er Computer-Methoden, die Wassertemperatur aus den Funden von Foraminiferen und anderen Fossilien in den Sedimenten zu bestimmen. 2003 erhielt er dafür die Milutin Milankovic Medaille der European Geophysical Society (EGS).

- John Imbrie (July 4, 1925 – May 13, 2016) was an American paleoceanographer best known for his work on the theory of ice ages. He was the grandson of William Imbrie, an American missionary to Japan. After serving with the 10th Mountain Division in Italy during World War II, Imbrie earned his bachelor's degree from Princeton University. He then went on to receive a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1951. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1978, and both the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1981. That same year, he was the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. He was awarded the Maurice Ewing Medal in 1986 by the AGU and the William H. Twenhofel Medal by the Society for Sedimentary Geology in 1991, the only time the Society has awarded it to a non-member. Imbrie was on the faculty of the Geological Sciences Department at Brown University from 1967, where he held the Henry L. Doherty chair of Oceanography. He later served as Professor Emeritus at Brown. Imbrie is probably best known as a co-author of the paper in Science in 1976, 'Variations in the Earth's orbit: Pacemaker of the ice ages'. 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. These changes are now called the Milankovitch cycles. He became a recipient of the Milutin Milankovic Medal with George Kukla in 2003. John Imbrie was featured in the video documentary The Last Ridge: The Uphill Battles of the 10th Mountain Division. He died in Providence, Rhode Island, in 2016 at the age of 90. (en)

Professeur à la faculté des sciences de la terre de l'université Brown depuis 1967, il est surtout connu pour ses travaux sur la glaciation. L'article Variations in the Earth's orbit: Pacemaker of the ice ages, qu'il a co-publié en 1976 dans Science, est le premier appui expérimental solide des paramètres de Milanković. (fr)
