Person, life
I was born between Edward Morris D vis and the Maria motte D vis which were home of the Quakers in Pennsylvania Philadelphia. I graduated from Harvard University in 1869 and received a degree of the M.E. (Master of Engineering) in the next year.
It was an assistant of Nathaniel シェーラー of the geologist in Cordoba, Argentina from work, 1879 for three years and had begun to work as a geologic teacher of Harvard University, but the vis did not acquire Ph.D. for a lifetime on a day. In the same year, I marry Ellen Warner (Ellen B. Warner) of Massachusetts Springfield.
Was to have proposed a geographical cycle (cycle of erosion) that was a model to show how a river formed the topography, and announced the scientific achievements that the influence was the biggest of the D vis for the first time in 1884 [note 1]; [2]. The river has three parts namely upper reaches, midstream, down stream mainly (big), and the geographical cycle of the D vis suggests that each has a characteristic about the inherent topography and topography. The concept of the geographical cycle is affected by the Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory [3]. On the other hand, I discussed the influence on human being of natural environments for mechanism about the anthropogeography and showed an environmentalism-like viewpoint [4]. A pupil of the D vis has L Worth Huntington known as the environmentalism [3].
Though I did serious contribution for topographical days of creation, occasionally called the theory of the D vis about much topography changes with vis style topography (Davisian geomorphology) on a day, and intense criticism has been done by a modern topographer. In addition, it is criticized about the correspondence of the vis on the day to the person who is skeptical about an opinion and a method of researcher and him on the neck of the D vis. A fact. The D vis almost monopolized the study of the topography change until I retired from it. When the present age, the word "D vis style topography" try a skeptical opinion for the scientific article of others, they are spoken to criticize it.
The D vis rolled up the association by contributing a large number of articles to official journal of a scientific society "National Geographic" of association of National Geographic early in a setup, the establishment in American Geographical Association (AAG) in 1904. The D vis made an effort these days to let geography become independent from geology [3].
In 1911, the D vis retires from Harvard University. When I married again with Mary Weyman (Mary M. Wyman) of Massachusetts Cambridge in 1914 after the death of the first wife, and she died, I married Lucy tenant (Lucy L. Tennant) of Massachusetts Milton. In 1934, I died in California Pasadena with an 84-year-old birthday close at hand.
