Charles Lyell

    Sir Charles Lyell fue un geólogo escocés que popularizó la obra revolucionaria de James Hutton, presentando al público el principio del uniformitarismo. Su obra clave desarrolló la idea de que la Tierra fue moldeada por los mismos procesos científicos que aún operan hoy en día. La investigación de Lyell incluyó explicaciones sobre terremotos, la teoría de la construcción gradual de volcanes y la división del período Terciario en las épocas Plioceno, Mioceno y Eoceno. Sus contribuciones influyeron en el joven Charles Darwin y sentaron las bases para la comprensión geológica moderna.
