He inherited the spirit; his environment gave the motive; he achieved the career by virtue of his physical endowment, his high courage, and his mental and moral fitness. His interest in geology was• first aroused by his mother, an unusually gifted woman, and was fixed by early incidental opportunities for ob- servations in'Germany and Corsica, followed by a chance meeting with the German geologist, Noeggeratli, which led to his going to the mining school at Freiberg. He used his profession of mining engineer, but never devoted himself to it. He served his adopted science, geology, but not exclusively; yet his contributions to its principles and knowledge remain unchallenged after thirty to fifty years of later intensive research along the same lines. He cherished for forty years a dream of carrying out investigations in the archeology and ethnology of the Asiatic and European races and at the age of three score and ten realized it with that same thoroughness and devotion to truth which characterized all of his scientific studies.

  • A Biography of Clarence Edward Dutton (1841-1912), 19Th Century Geologist and Geographer
    A BIOGRAPHY OF CLARENCE EDWARD DUTTON (1841-1912), 19TH CENTURY GEOLOGIST AND GEOGRAPHER Robert Stewart Anderson 1977 PREFACE 2017 It has now been 40 years and 4 months since I finished writing this biography of Clarence Edward Dutton, my Masters thesis at Stanford. This has been on my shelf, and in the stacks at Stanford ever since, read by the few to whom I lent it, or who tripped across it while perusing the stacks. Since then no other biography of Dutton has been written. Stephen J. Pyne produced his tome on G.K. Gilbert about the same time I finished Dutton. So the hole in the history of American geology that this thesis was intended to fill remains open. I apologize for not making this available sooner. Dutton’s story deserves to be told. With Gilbert and Powell, Dutton helped to open the geological and geomorphic story of the American West. While I have spent 30 years as a teacher and a researcher of geomorphology, and therefore know much better than I did in 1977 the context for Dutton’s research, I have not delved back into this thesis to update it, nor have I corrected those impressions I had and interpretations I made at the time of writing. That would have taken too much time – and it is the sense of not having the time to do it right that has prevented me from getting this out. That and the fact that this was a 115 page type-written manuscript. I did manage in 1987 to have it converted to an electronic document.

  • Handbook of the American Association of Geographers
    Handbook of the American Association of Geographers About the AAG Logo The AAG logo consists of a world map on the Berghaus Star projection within two concentric circles containing the name of the organization and the year of its founding (1904). The Association adopted the logo in 1911. Star projections were developed in Austria and Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Berghaus Star projection, developed in 1879 by Hermann Berghaus at the Perthes publishing house in Gotha, Germany is a modification of earlier star projections. It retains the polar azimuthal characteristics of its predecessors, but interrupts the southern hemisphere only five times (at longitudes 16, 88, and 160 degrees West, and 56 and 128 degrees East). The earlier star projections interrupted the southern hemisphere at eight longitudes. 1 CONSTITUTION OF THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN GEOGRAPHERS (Updated July 2020) I. Name. The name of the organization shall be the Association of American Geographers. II. Objectives. The objectives of the Association shall be to further professional investigations in geography and to encourage the application of geographic findings in education, government, and business. The Association shall support these objectives by promoting acquaintance and discussion among its members and with scholars in related fields by stimulating research and scientific exploration, by encouraging the publication of scholarly studies, and by performing services to aid the advancement of its members and the field of geography. The Associa- tion shall receive and administer funds in support of research and publication in the field of geography. III. Membership 1. Individual Members. Persons who are interested in the objectives of the Association are eligible for membership and shall become Members upon payment of dues and satisfaction of the Association’s Member eligibility policies.
