Omschrijving
Sir Edward Sabine (1788-1883) was an Irish astronomer and geodesist
who served in the Royal Artillery before participating in the Arctic expeditions
of John Ross (1818) and William Parry (1819) in search of the
Northwest Passage. From 1821 to 1823, Sabine traveled in the Southern
hemisphere, developing Alexander von Humboldt's geomagnetic
work. At that time, he began experiments to determine the Earth's
shape more precisely by observing the motion of a pendulum. He devoted
the rest of his life to research on terrestrial magnetism, and estabished
magnetic observatories throughout the world. From 1861 to
1871, he was president of London's Royal Society. It was during this
period (in 1869) that he was knighted.
