Alfred Lothar Wegener, German geophysicist and meteorologist
Alfred Lothar Wegener, German geophysicist and meteorologist. Wegener (1880-1930) formulated the theory of Continental Drift (Wegener Hypothesis), published in 1915. Wegener postulated that the continents had not always occupied their present locations, but had moved across the Earths surface over geological history. Wegeners theory was not widely accepted until the 1950s, but is today explained by the theory of Plate Tectonics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind of Alfred Lothar Wegener, a renowned German geophysicist and meteorologist. Born in 1880, Wegener revolutionized the field of earth sciences with his groundbreaking theory of Continental Drift, also known as the Wegener Hypothesis. Published in 1915, this revolutionary idea proposed that continents were not fixed in their current positions but had actually moved across the Earth's surface throughout geological history. Despite facing initial skepticism from the scientific community, Wegener's theory gained widespread acceptance only in the 1950s when it was explained by the theory of Plate Tectonics. In this portrait captured during early 20th century Germany, we see a man dedicated to unraveling nature's mysteries. With an intense gaze and determined expression, Wegener exudes confidence and intellect. His contribution to geography and geology has left an indelible mark on our understanding of our planet's evolution. As we admire this monochrome image preserved by Oxford Science Archive and collected by Print Collector1, let us remember Alfred Lothar Wegener as a visionary who defied convention to reshape our knowledge of Earth's dynamic processes. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's most influential scientists.
