The 25 pages that link to Charles Lyell, each with the reason it gives.

• Charles DarwinRelated: Lyell’s geology helped Darwin see deep time as sufficient for gradual biological change.

• Geologic time scaleRelated: His work strengthened the interpretation of geological history as a long sequence of processes.

• ExtinctionRelated: His gradualist framework shaped debates about the pace and causes of species loss.

• Alfred Russel WallaceRelated: Lyell helped bring Wallace’s evolutionary essay to publication alongside Darwin’s earlier work.

• UniformitarianismRelated: Lyell turned the principle into a systematic geological program.

• GradualismRelated: His geological arguments made gradual change influential in Darwin’s intellectual environment.

• James HuttonRelated: Lyell later advanced a tradition of geological reasoning that Hutton had helped establish.

• GeologyRelated: His work made actualism central to nineteenth-century geological reasoning.

• Deep timeRelated: His influential account made gradual change central to nineteenth-century geology.

• CatastrophismRelated: His Principles of Geology popularized gradual change against catastrophic interpretations.

• Structural geologyRelated: His account of gradual geological change shaped interpretations of rock structures.

• Field geologyRelated: His synthesis made observed present-day processes central to interpreting the geological past.

• Voyage of the BeagleRelated: Lyell’s book accompanied Darwin and influenced how he interpreted geological change during the voyage.

• History of geologyRelated: His Principles of Geology shaped geological reasoning and influenced Charles Darwin.

• Earth scienceRelated: His writings helped establish uniformitarian reasoning in geology.

• James Dwight DanaRelated: Lyell’s geological framework formed part of the intellectual setting for Dana’s work.

• Geologic timeRelated: His work popularized a framework of Earth history extending far beyond human history.

• Roderick MurchisonRelated: Lyell was a close contemporary and influential ally in British geology.

• History of lifeRelated: His geological reasoning helped establish deep time as a setting for biological change.

• History of paleontologyRelated: Lyell's uniformitarian geology influenced how fossil-bearing strata were interpreted.

• History of evolutionary thoughtRelated: Lyell's deep geological timescale made gradual biological change more plausible.

• Archibald GeikieRelated: Lyell’s gradualist approach informed the geological tradition in which Geikie worked.

• GeologistRelated: His influential synthesis shaped nineteenth-century geological interpretation.
