Jim Zachos is an earth scientist renowned for his pioneering work in paleoclimatology and paleoceanography. He has discovered that there were various periods of climate change on Earth over the past 70 million years. He has also studied greenhouse periods and sudden changes in temperature millions of years ago. His work allows scientists to make more accurate quantitative predictions about global warming and ocean acidification in the near future.
