Leading glaciologist Claude Lorius, whose Antarctica discoveries in the 1980s helped prove humanity's role in global warming, has died at 91. ManilaBulletin
Lorius died on Tuesday morning in the French region of Burgundy, according to Jerome Chappellaz, a palaeoclimatologist and former colleague of his.
In 1955, fresh out of university, Lorius responded to an obscure advert to partake in a mission for the International Geophysical Year -- a global research program dedicated to revealing the icy continent's mysteries. "We were extraordinarily lucky since Antarctica is the best place to bear witness to the planet's environmental problems" said Lorius.
He is perhaps most internationally renowned for research, published in 1987, into air bubbles trapped in the ice, which allowed scientists to look back over 160,000 years' worth of glacial records.
