François Émile Matthes (March 16, 1874 – June 21, 1948) was a geologist and an expert in topographic mapping, glaciers, and climate change. He mapped remote areas of the American West for the United States Geological Survey (USGS). His maps coincided with the development of those areas into national parks. He is one of the founders of the Association of American Geographers and served as its president. Matthes resolved a dispute about formation of the Yosemite Valley and his findings on glaciers introduced the terms nivation and Little Ice Age.

  • François Émile Matthes, né le 16 mars 1874 à Amsterdam et mort le 21 juin 1948 à El Cerrito (Californie), est un géologue américain, spécialiste de la cartographie topographique, des glaciers et des changements climatiques. Il a cartographié les zones reculées de l'Ouest américain pour le United States Geological Survey (USGS). Ses cartes ont notamment coïncidé avec le développement des parcs nationaux dans ces zones. Il est l'un des fondateurs de l'Association of American Geographers et a servi en tant que président. Matthes a résolu une controverse à propos de la formation de la Vallée de Yosemite et les résultats de ses recherches sur les glaciers ont introduit les termes de nivation et de Petit Âge glaciaire.
