An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Joseph Vallot (16 February 1854 – 11 April 1925) was a French scientist, astronomer, botanist, geographer, cartographer and alpinist and "one of the founding fathers of scientific research on Mont Blanc". He is known mainly for his fascination with Mont Blanc and his work in funding and constructing a high-altitude observatory below its summit, and for the many years of study and research work that he and his wife conducted both there, and at their base in Chamonix. The observatory and adjacent refuge that he constructed for use by mountain guides and their clients attempting Mont Blanc summit both still bear his name today, despite being rebuilt in modern times.

  • Henri Marie Joseph Vallot (* 16. Februar 1854 in Lodève, Département Hérault; † 1925 in Nizza) war ein französischer Privatgelehrter. Vallot war mit seinen breitgefächerten Interessen in den Gebieten Botanik, Glaziologie, Bauwesen, Geologie, Fotografie, Medizin, Physiologie, Kartographie, Alpinismus und Meteorologie als ernsthafter Amateurwissenschaftler bekannt. Aus einer wohlhabenden Familie stammend, war es ihm möglich, seine Interessen weitgehend selbst zu finanzieren. (de)
  • Henri Marie Joseph Vallot (16 de febrero de 1854, Lodève, Hérault - 1925, Niza) fue un astrónomo, geógrafo, glaciólogo, naturalista, alpinista, mecenas francés. Nacido en una familia rica, nunca sabría de problema financiero y su fortuna pagaría la mayor parte de la construcción de un observatorio. Sin embargo, los científicos no lo consideraron verdaderamente como uno de ellos, pero como hombre rico se distraía con la ciencia, mientras se desempeñaba en diversas áreas: botánica, glaciología, construcción, geología, fotografía, medicina, fisiología, cartografía, montañismo, meteorología, espeleología,... y han sido reconocidos como de interés científico.

  • Joseph Vallot (Henry Marie Joseph Vallot, Henri Marie Joseph selon d'autres sources) est un astronome, géographe, naturaliste, alpiniste et mécène français, né le 16 février 1854 à Lodève (Hérault) et mort le 11 avril 1925 à Nice. Issu d'une famille fortunée, il ne connaît jamais de problème financier et sa fortune lui permet de payer la plus grande partie de la construction de son observatoire. Cependant, les scientifiques universitaires ne le considèreront jamais comme un des leurs, mais au mieux pour un homme riche se distrayant avec la science. Pourtant, ses travaux exercés dans divers domaines : botanique, glaciologie, construction, géologie, photographie, médecine, physiologie, cartographie, alpinisme, météorologie, spéléologie, ont été reconnus comme présentant un intérêt scientifique important.
