Humboldt's "Tableau physique des Andes" as a climatological diagram Source: "Tableau physique des Andes" to Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland, Essai sur la Géographie des Plantes accompagné d'un tableau physique des régions équinoxiales, Paris, Tubingen: F. Schoell and J. G. Cotta 1807. © zvg - Alexander von Humboldt was a pioneer of climate research. On his voyages to America (1799-1804) and Asia (1829), he conducted meteorological measurements that he used to develop a modern, holistic model of the Earth's climate. Humboldt thus founded comparative climatology. Now Humboldt's climate writings have been collected and edited at the University of Bern, annotated from the perspective of the history of knowledge and climatology. Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) made research contributions to 30 disciplines, most of which are still valid today.
