Was Vladimir Vernadsky Honorable

The definition of being honorable is someone with high respect. My personal definition of being honorable is that you think of others and the well-being of the earth and you are respectful. Vladimir Vernadsky is honorable because of his numerous discoveries about nature and the earth. Vernadsky was born on March 12, 1863 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His father was a professor that taught political economy at the Moscow University, and his mother was a noblewoman. He started developing an interest in science, specifically natural sciences, at the Saint Petersburg Grammar School. Vernadsky was both a Ukrainian and a Russian, and he learned a little Ukrainian despite living in Russia longer( he remained loyal to the Russian state). He earned his degree
In the 1920’s he published his research proclaiming that living organisms have a large influence on how the earth advances. This caused him to be one of the originators that shaped environmental sciences. He was elected as an ordinary academician in the Saint Petersburg Academy of Science in 1912, and in 1914 he was the head of the Museum of Mineralogy and Geology. Vernadsky founded the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in 1918. He also became its first president. This accomplishment caused a main avenue in Tavrida National University and an avenue in Moscow to be named after him. Along with many other streets and avenues in Ukraine and Russia are named in honor of Vladimir Vernadsky. He is most renowned for his book called “The Biosphere.” In the late 1930s and early 1940s he participated in an early executive role in the misuse of atomic energy. In 1943 (two years before his death) Vladimir was awarded the USSR State Prize which is also called the Stalin Prize. He wasn’t awarded many awards, but his accomplishments are greater than any award he could’ve
