James Zachos is an American paleoclimatologist, oceanographer, and marine scientist. He is currently a professor and chair of the Department of Earth and Planetary sciences at University of California, Santa Cruz where he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2017. He has conducted research on a wide variety of topics related to biological, chemical, and climatic evolution of late Cretaceous and Cenozoic oceans, and is credited with developing a new understanding of long-term climate change and climate transitions over the past 65 million years. His investigations of past climatic conditions help predict the consequences of anthropogenic carbon emissions on future climate change.
