WALTERSHAUSEN, WOLFGANG SARTORIUS, BARON VON (1809-1876)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 297 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WALTERSHAUSEN, WOLFGANG SARTORIUS, BARON VON (1809-1876) , German geologist, was born at Gottingen, on the 17th of December 1809, and educated at the university in that city. There he devoted his attention to
physical
  and natural science, and in particular to
mineralogy
 . During a tour in 1834-1835 he carried out a
series
  of magnetic observations in various parts of Europe. He then gave his attention to an exhaustive investigation of Etna, and carried on the
work
  with some interruptions until 1843. The
chief
  result of this undertaking was his
great
 
Atlas
  des Atna(1858-1861), in which he distinguished the lava streams formed during the later centuries. After his return from Etna he visited Iceland, and subsequently published Physisahgeographische Skizze von
Island
  (1847), Uber die vulkanischen Gesteine in Sicilien and
Island
  (1853), and Geologischer
Atlas
  von Island (1853). Meanwhile he was appointed professor of
mineralogy
  and
geology
  at Gottingen, and held this post for about thirty years, until his death. In 1866 he published an important
essay
  entitled Recherches sur les climats de l'epoque actuelle et des epoques anciennes; in this he expressed his belief that the Glacial period was due to changes in the configuration of the earth's surface. He died at Gottingen on the 16th of October 1876.
