| Citation | David Hodell is a world leader in the study of palaeoclimate records from marine and lake sediments. He was instrumental in transforming views on the impact of climate change on ancient civilizations, providing the first physical evidence that increased drought coincided with the Maya collapse. He has also made key contributions to understanding ice age cycles and their link to variations in Earth’s orbit. He has led many ocean drilling expeditions to collect high-resolution sediment cores that can be correlated to polar ice cores, allowing him to interpret atmospheric changes in the context of changes in the deep ocean. |
