wernerian

Meaning of "wernerian" in English

The term "wernerian" typically refers to the theories or doctrines associated with the geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner. He was a prominent 18th-century mineralogist whose ideas about geological formations were influential during his time. Werner proposed that the Earth was formed by sequential marine sedimentation processes, a view that later fell out of favor due to the rise of Huttonian or Plutonist theories. The term "wernerian" often implies a historical perspective on geology and can reflect an outdated scientific viewpoint that contrasts with modern geological understanding.
