Discipline field groups earth scientists by the branch of science each one actually practiced. Wikipedia describes Alfred Wegener as "a German climatologist, geologist, geophysicist, meteorologist, and polar researcher," a scientist whose work spanned several fields at once. This dimension shows which fields have produced the people behind a given discovery.
