Tyndall's experiments on the absorption and radiation of heat by gases were foundational in climate science. He also popularized science through his lectures and writings. An advocate for scientific education, Tyndall's work laid the groundwork for future research in environmental and physical sciences. He died in 1893 due to an accidental overdose of chloral hydrate.
