Home›Scientists›Era›By Decade›1830sBrowse By1830sThis dimension groups scientists by the era in which they worked. Wikipedia notes that "it was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use," a term coined long after many of the people the atlas now calls scientists had already done their work. Browsing by era lets a visitor compare scientists active in the same period.Facts1830sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonConcept Term OriginWell-attested1834 11830sFilter Results30 entriesDisciplineAllAnthropology (1)Astronomy (2)Biology (1)Botany (1)Chemistry (4)Ecology (1)Geology (9)Linguistics (1)Materials Science (1)Mathematics (2)Medicine (1)Paleontology (3)Petrology (1)Pharmacology (1)Physics (1)Psychology (1)Thermodynamics (2)Zoology (1)Field (legacy)AllAnthropology (1)Astronomy (1)Astronomy and applied mathematics (1)Chemical Thermodynamics (1)Chemistry (1)Chemistry, invention (1)Chemistry, precision measurement (1)Experimental psychology and physiology (1)Geography (1)Geology (5)Geology and botany (1)Geology and paleontology (1)Geology and petrography (1)Kinetic Theory and Statistical Mechanics (1)Marine biology and oceanography (1)Mathematics (number theory and abstract algebra) (1)Organic chemistry (1)Palaeontology (1)Paleontology (1)Petrography (1)Pharmacology (1)Philology, semantics, comparative grammar (1)Surgery and geology (1)Zoology and ecology (1)Zoology and evolutionary biology (1)InstitutionAllAcademie des Sciences (1)Case Western Reserve University (1)Heidelberg University (1)Humboldt University of Berlin (1)King's College London (1)Leipzig University (1)Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (1)National Academy of Sciences (3)Royal Astronomical Society (1)Royal Society (5)The Geological Society of London (5)University of Amsterdam (1)University of Bonn (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Jena (1)University of Oxford (1)University of Strasbourg (2)University of Vienna (1)Yale University (1)In GroupAllAlgebra And Number Theory (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (1)Ecology And Evolutionary Biology (2)Genetics And Molecular Biology (1)Geologists (4)Historical And Foundational Chemists (Pre-1900) (3)Mineralogists And Petrologists (2)Oceanographers (1)Organic Chemists (1)Paleontologists (5)Physiology And Medicine (2)Planetary Science And Solar System Astronomy (2)Polymer And Materials Chemists (1)Semantics And Pragmatics (1)Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics (1)Volcanologists (2)NationalityAllAustria (1)Canada (1)France (1)German Empire (1)Germany (10)Ireland (3)Italy (1)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Netherlands (1)Russian Empire (1)Sweden (1)United Kingdom (9)United States (4)Weimar Republic (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 30Adolf von Baeyer1830sAlfred Nobel1830sArchibald Geikie1830sAugust Weismann1830sCharles Wyville Thomson1830sDmitri Mendeleev1830sEduard Suess1830sEdward Burnett Tylor1830sEdward Morley1830sErnst Haeckel1830sFerdinand von Richthofen1830sFerdinand Zirkel1830sFriedrich Schmidt1830sGiovanni Schiaparelli1830sHeinrich Rosenbusch1830sHenry Woodward1830sJ.
