Walter Munk (July 10, 1917 – 2019) was an American oceanographer and geophysicist, often referred to as the 'Einstein of oceanography.' His work encompassed surface waves, ocean depth measurements, and climate change. Notably, he developed methods to measure global ocean temperatures using sound waves alongside his colleague Carl Wunsch. Munk's career, spanning nearly 80 years, included contributions to wave prediction for military operations during WWII and involvement in programs studying oceans during atomic bomb tests. He served as a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and was influential in expanding its facilities.
