Mario Giovinetto (1933,
Career
Mario Giovinetto was active in
His research led to estimates of mass and energy exchange between atmosphere, ocean (including sea ice) and ice sheets of both hemispheres that are used in global climate change model construction. His contributions have been recognized in several awards from US and Argentine government agencies.[1]
Mount Giovinetto is a 4090 m/13,419 ft mountain named after him in the Antarctic Ellsworth Mountains Sentinel Range.[2]
In 2001 Giovinetto participated in a NASA Johnson Space Center workshop, "Antarctic Explorations Parallels for Future Human Planetary Exploration", where the isolated polar environment experience of researchers was used to help predict issues that could arise in human crew extraplanetary exploration. There are many parallels between a winter-long remote polar settlement and one on the Moon or Mars.[1]
