Nicholas Shackleton (1937–2019) was a British geologist and paleoclimatologist known for his significant contributions to the study of climate change and Earth’s history through the analysis of sediment cores from the ocean floor. He played a crucial role in developing the field of isotope geochemistry, particularly in understanding the cycles of climate change during the Quaternary period (the last 2.6 million years).
