Summary: | President James Zumberge (age 62) in a crevasse, Antarctica, 1985. Former USC President (1980-1991) James H. Zumberge was chief glaciologist for the United States during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958), in which sixty-seven countries participated in a massive program to study the continent. Cape Zumberge and the Zumberge Coast were named in honor of his work studying ice breakup patterns on the Ross Ice Shelf and for his promotion of sensible stewardship of the continent. A result of this international collaboration was the landmark Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits military or exploitative uses of the continent, and encourages the free exchange of research data. |
