Raymo has done pioneering work on the origin of the ice ages, the geologic temperature record of the Earth, and past sea level change, publishing over 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles. Her work underlies fundamental ideas in paleoceanography including the uplift weathering hypothesis, the "41,000-year problem", the Pliocene sea-level paradox, and the Lisiecki-Raymo δ18O stack.
In 2014, Raymo became the first woman to win the Wollaston Medal for geology, which had been awarded for 183 years at the time. She was described in her nomination as "one of the foremost and influential figures in the last 30 years". Provided by Wikipedia
