Almost 19 centuries later, William Morris Davis, S.B. 1869, devised a clear, concise, descriptive, and idealized model of landscape evolution that revolutionized and in many ways created this field of study. Born into a prominent Philadelphia Quaker family, Davis studied geology and geography at Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School and then ...
Introduction The concept of geomorphic cycle, as articulated by geographers William Morris Davis and Albrecht Penck, has been foundational in understanding landscape evolution. This article explores the theories put forth by Davis and Penck, their contributions to geomorphology, and the significance of the geomorphic cycle in shaping the Earth’s surface.
William Morris Davis won distinction as geologist, meteor-ologist, and geomorphologist, but primarily as teacher. He made personal, outdoor researches in every continent except Ant-arctica, as well as in island groups of the Atlantic and the Pacific; yet his international fame rests chiefly on his development of a system of thought concerning ...
William Morris Davis est surtout célèbre pour sa théorie du cycle d'érosion (en). Il explique la création et l'évolution des formes de relief en trois stades successifs : stade de la jeunesse ( relief soulevé), stade de la maturité (action de l' érosion) 3, stade de la vieillesse. Selon cette théorie, l' orogenèse est ainsi suivie d ...

A William Morris Davis centenary is a major event in American geography, geology, and meteorology. Evidence does not exist, of course, but no one can deny that the infant Davis's first word in 1850 was prob- ably "WHY?" ** Col. Lawrence Martin studied in 1905-6 at Cambridge, Mass., under Davis, then.
