Charles Lyell

    Sir Charles Lyell était un géologue écossais qui a popularisé l'œuvre révolutionnaire de James Hutton, présentant au public le principe de l'uniformitarisme. Son ouvrage principal a développé l'idée que la Terre a été façonnée par les mêmes processus scientifiques qui sont encore en vigueur aujourd'hui. Les recherches de Lyell comprenaient des explications sur les tremblements de terre, la théorie de la construction graduelle des volcans et la division de la période Tertiaire en Pliocène, Miocène et Éocène. Ses contributions ont influencé le jeune Charles Darwin et ont jeté les bases de la compréhension géologique moderne.
