metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Wladimir Köppen (1846–1940, originally from St. Petersburg), Alfred Wegener (1880–1930,
  originally from Berlin) and Milutin Milankovitch (1879–1958, originally from Dalj, then
  Austria-Hungary, today eastern Croatia) made significant contributions to paleoclimatology
  during the early years of the 20th century. Köppen described the global climate zonation, Wegener
  defined the continental drift during the Phanerozoic, using Köppen’s climate zonations
  applied to paleogeographic scenarios of the geological past, and Milankovitch introduced
  regularly changing orbital parameters as controls of past climatic changes providing a precise
  timescale for Glacials and Interglacials during the Quaternary. By combining their scientific
  efforts, they succeeded to change our understanding of Earth history fundamentally, each
  of them with their specific expertise and their wide scientific horizons. Wladimir Köppen’s
  scientific work began with observations from the Crimea and from contributing to produce
  synoptic weather maps while he was working at the Central Physical Observatory in St. Petersburg.
  Later he pursued his scientific career at the “Deutsche Seewarte” in Hamburg. While
  producing numerous scientific papers, he was also engaged in instrumental development (kite
  technology) and in shaping the organisational framework for meteorology, both nationally
  and internationally. One of his major scientific achievements was the definition of the global
  climate zonation which he repeatedly published in global maps and which is still used today.
