Some accomplishments of Alfred Wegener is he proposed the theory of continental drift – the idea that Earth’s continents move. Despite publishing a large body of compelling fossil and rock evidence for his theory between 1912 and 1929, it was rejected by most other scientists. It was only in the 1960s that continental drift finally became part of mainstream science. Another accomplishment he made was that he went to college at Berlin’s famous Urania Observatory, he completed his astronomy Ph.D. in 1905, at the age of 24. Although he was now intellectually prepared to be a …show more content…
After completing his doctoral degree, Wegener started work as a scientist at a meteorological station in Berlin, Germany. The expedition’s principal aim was to chart the coastline of Greenland’s unexplored northeast coast. During the expedition, Wegener made his mark by building Greenland’s first meteorological station and taking a large number of atmospheric readings using kites and balloons. In 1910 he published his first book called Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere. That's when he got the idea of the continental drift.Today we recognize that Wegener’s ancient continent actually existed. Its name is the one Wegener gave it – Pangaea. Wegener's last book was called The Origin of Continents and Oceans in 1929. On an unknown day in mid-November 1930, Alfred Wegener died at the age of 50 on his fourth expedition to Greenland. He had been trying to resupply a remote camp in very bad weather. Temperatures had dropped as low as a deadly −60 °C (−76 °F). He supplied the camp successfully, but there was not enough food at the camp for him to stay there. He and a colleague, Rasmus Villumsen, took dog sleds to travel to another camp. Wegener died on this journey, probably of a
