Wilhelm Sievers : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wilhelm Sievers
Friedrich Wilhelm Sievers (3 December 1860 – 11 June 1921) was a German geologist and geographer. He served as professor of geography at the University of Giessen. His field work focussed on South America, and his ''Allgemeine Länderkunde'' was for several decades a standard work on world geography. ==Biography== Sievers was born into a merchant family in Hamburg. He was educated at Jena, Göttingen, and Leipzig, and was made ''Privatdozent'' at Würzburg in 1887 after extensive travels in Venezuela and Colombia. In his education, he broke with his mercantile family's tradition in order to study the emerging academic field of geography. He was one of Ferdinand von Richthofen's first students. Sievers made three expeditions to South America, mainly focusing on documenting evidence for a South American ice age. In 1909, he established the headwaters of the Marañón, the main source of the Amazon river. Wilhelm Sievers published the ''Allgemeine Länderkunde'' (several editions 1891-1935), which for several decades was the leading international geographical publication covering all continents.
