Carlos S. Dimas (History) had his article, published in the journal Agricultural History.
The article examines the early history of meteorology in Argentina through the development of the Argentine Meteorological Service and places it within the Argentine nation-state building process of the last third of the 19th century. It argues that the state used weather observation more as a tool of expansion, as in the case of Patagonia, than as a scientific endeavor. The article is a preview of his second book project that looks at the history of modern Argentina, but told from the perspective of environmental humanities and science and technology studies.
