Wally Broecker, Columbia Scientist, Coined 'Global Warming' in Paper 35 Years Ago. By Abby Gruen, NJ Stare-Ledger, August 8, 2010. "Wally Broecker, the scientist who coined the term global warming, is the elder statesmen of climate change science in the world... on the 35th anniversary of the publication of his paper Climate Change: Are we on the Brink of a Pronounced Global warming in Science magazine... A professor at Columbia's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Broecker was a leader in the generation of researchers who first studied the natural world using techniques like radio carbon dating and oxygen isotope analysis that were developed during World War II... With these tools, he revolutionized the study of ice-age climate change and ocean chemistry, writing the definitive textbook on chemical oceanography and leading a massive assessment of ocean properties... Broecker has written 470 papers and 10 books, including The Great Ocean Conveyor, published this year by the Princeton University Press. He is co-author of two books coming out next year. He also has mentored scores of scientists."
