Keywords:
Franz Unger, global warming, environmental history, Darwinist illustrations of nature in the 19th century, StyriaAbstract
In his paper, the author discusses the process of climate change research, with special reference to the research of Franz Unger (1800-1870). The son of a Maribor mother, Franz Unger was one of the pioneers of research on greenhouse phenomena. Through research into his lineage, his links with other researchers, his travels around the world and his lifetime academic career, we are moving towards a better appreciation of Unger’s achievements in the field of environmental research. In the context of ecology, his research on fossils and botany in the Celje area and beyond is also of great interest.
