Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. KARL WILHELM BUTZER August 19, 1934–May 4, 2016 Elected to the NAS, 1996 Karl Wilhelm Butzer was a pioneer of geoarchaeology and a preeminent human-environment scientist. His research examined nature-society relationships from the earliest hominins to civilizations ranging from ancient Egypt to colonial Mexico. Born in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, Karl and his brother Paul were smuggled out of the country in 1937 under the seat of a school bus, joining their father and mother who had escaped previously. Making their way to England at the outbreak of World War II, the family was moved by the British government several times, including a stop at the Isle of Man internment facility, before settling them in Bournemouth. The family was permitted to emigrate By B. L. Turner II to Canada in 1941, eventually settling in Montreal, where Karl attended McGill University. He obtained a B.Sc. in Mathematics with Honors and a M.Sc. in Meteorology and Geography in 1954 and 1955, respectively. He returned to Germany to take a Dr. rer. nat. (D.Sc.) in Physical Geography and Ancient History from the University of Bonn in 1957. Karl’s research achievements were honored by three disciplines—geography, archae- ology, and geology—recognizing not only his contributions to each but his integration of them. What were these contributions that positioned Karl as the preeminent paleo- human-environment scientist of his generation? Skeptical of his choice of study, Karl’s parents made a bargain with him that propelled him toward his life’s work.
