Чезаре Эмилиани

Учился в Болонском университете. В 1948 г., получив грант на обучение в Чикагском университете, переехал в США, где остался после окончания учёбы и продолжил научные исследования.

Эмилиани доказал, что ледниковые периоды в течение последнего полумиллиона лет подчинялись циклической зависимости, гипотезу о которой впервые выдвинул сербский геолог М. Миланкович. В рамках открытых Эмилиани фактов были революционно пересмотрены представления об очертаниях океанов во времена оледенений. Также по инициативе Эмилиани стал развиваться проект «LOCO» (от Long Cores) при поддержке Национального научного фонда США. В рамках проекта были представлены свидетельства истории океанов, произошёл значительный прогресс в изучении гипотез спрединга морского дна и тектоники плит.

Эмилиани владел большим количеством языков, обладал широкими знаниями в различных областях науки. В последние годы жизни предложил календарную реформу, в основе которой лежал изобретённый им голоценский календарь, отличавшийся от христианского календаря на 10000 лет (примерная дата начала голоцена и окончания последнего оледенения).
