 Biographical Note

Cedomir Marangunic (1937-) received an undergraduate degree in geology from the University of Chile; his main area of study was glaciers and snow, due to personal interest in skiing. From 1964 until 1968, Marangunic worked on his dissertation at the Ohio State University; his dissertation, "Effects of a Landslide on Sherman Glacier, Alaska" focused on how the Sherman Glacier had receded and changed following an earthquake and landslide in the area in March 1964. As a part of his dissertation, Marangunic spent time in Alaska taking measurements and photographs to document the changed glacier. He completed his disseration under the supervision of Colin Bull, who taught glaciology at the Ohio State University and helped found the Byrd Polar Research Center (then known as the Institute of Polar Studies); Bull served as the director of the Institute of Polar Studies from 1965-1969.

Following his time in Ohio and Alaska, Marangunic returned to Chile; as of 2020, he is still studying glaciers in Argentina and Chile.
