Cesare Emiliani was born as a son to Luigi and Maria (Manfredidi) Emiliani on December 8, 1922 in Bologna, Italy. He studied geology at the University of Bologna, specializing in micropaleontology. He received the D.Sc. from the University of Bologna in 1945. His earliest publications concerned philately, an interest that continued throughout his life. After graduation he worked as a micropaleontologist with the Societa Idrocarburi Nationali in Florence from 1946–48. During this time he published several papers on taxonomy and stratigraphy of foraminifera of the Cretaceous argille scagliose near Bologna, and from Pliocene sections near Faenza. In 1948 he received the Rollin D. Salisbury Fellowship in the Department of Geology at the University of Chicago and obtained the Ph.D. in 1950. It was in Chicago that he met, and on June 28, 1951, married his wife, Rosita. They had two children, Sandra and Mario. From 1950 to 1956 he was Research Associate in Harold Urey’s Geochemistry Laboratory in the Enrico Fermi Institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago. It was in this laboratory that the pioneering work was being done to establish relationships between stable isotopes and environmental variables. The early work of Urey and his students had involved studies of the relation between oxygen isotopes and temperature in recent molluscs, and the application of this relationship to the determination of paleotemperatures in the Cretaceous. Emiliani initiated use of this technique to the shells of foraminifera in ancient sediments from the ocean floor and concluded that the deep waters of the ocean had been much warmer in the early Tertiary. The discovery that the deep ocean was not the constant unchanging environment that had been assumed marked the beginning of a new field of science: paleoceanography. Further major discoveries followed rapidly. Using the piston corer developed by Kullenberg, the Swedish Deep Sea Expedition (1947–1949) and the Lamont Geological Observatory had taken long cores in the deep-sea carbonate oozes of the Pacific and Caribbean. Emiliani took on the job of applying the oxygen isotope technique to the tests of planktonic foraminifera sampled at 10 cm intervals down the length of the cores. He found a systematic periodic variation in the ratio of O:O following a characteristic sawtooth pattern. It was known that the changing ratios reflected two major factors, the temperature of the seawater and the volume of glacial ice. Cooler temperatures and greater ice volumes both William W.
