Obituary:  Hans Oeschger (1927-98)

Thomas Stocker1

The research of Hans Oeschger, who died on 25 December 1998 after a long illness, centred on applying the methods of modern physics to investigations of the Earth system. In particular, he and his team in Bern produced a stream of results that have become cornerstones of studies on climate change.
