... 1828. That year marks the beginning of glacial studies by Jean de Charpentier, who with Louis Agassiz took high rank in early investigations and who led Agassiz to take up glacial studies. His most important work, “Essai sur les Glaciers,” was not published until 1841, but for several years previous he...
