Mario Giovinetto

Mario Giovinetto (born 1933, La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) is an Argentine glaciologist, climatologist, and geographer. He is a Canadian citizen with permanent resident status in the US.

Dr. Giovinetto was active in polar research beginning in 1952. He participated in projects supported by the National Science Foundation (US) and other federal research agencies in Argentina and Canada. His field work experience includes three expeditions to high-mountain glaciers in the Andes Mountains (South America) and in Africa (1952–1955), winter stays at two Antarctic stations (Byrd Station, 1957 and South Pole Station, 1958), and nine summer-seasons in Antarctica and Greenland (1953–1978). He has logged more than 2000 miles of over-snow traverse, made observations at a number of sea-ice and iceberg sites, and spent approximately nine years as a member of small isolated teams working in demanding environments. His glaciology and climatology research was done while affiliated with the Instituto Antartico Argentino (Buenos Aires; 1953–1956), Arctic Institute of North America (New York; 1956–1959), Institute of Polar Studies (now Byrd Polar Research Center), Ohio State University (Columbus); 1959–1961, and the Geophysical and Polar Research Center, University of Wisconsin (Madison; 1961–1968).
