<p>Chamberlin was born September 25, 1843, in <a href="Mattoon%2C_Illinois" title="Mattoon, Illinois">Mattoon</a>, Illinois. When he was three years old his family moved north to near <a href="Beloit%2C_Wisconsin" title="Beloit, Wisconsin">Beloit</a>, Wisconsin. His father was a <a href="Methodist" class="mw-redirect" title="Methodist">Methodist</a> circuit minister and farmer. He attended a preparatory academy before entering <a href="Beloit_College" title="Beloit College">Beloit College</a>, where he received a classical education in Greek and Latin, while becoming interested in natural science. While a student at Beloit he directed a church choir and participated in athletics and debate.
</p><p>After graduation from <a href="Beloit_College" title="Beloit College">Beloit College</a> in 1866, Chamberlin worked for two years as a teacher and later principal in a high school near Beloit. He was married to Alma Wilson in 1867.
</p><p>In 1868–1869, Chamberlin spent a year taking graduate courses, including geology, at the <a href="University_of_Michigan" title="University of Michigan">University of Michigan</a> to strengthen his scientific background. Subsequently (1869–1873), he became professor of natural science at <a href="University_of_Wisconsin%E2%80%93Whitewater" title="University of Wisconsin–Whitewater">Whitewater Normal School</a> in Wisconsin. He joined the Beloit faculty in 1873, where he was professor of geology, <a href="Zoology" title="Zoology">zoology</a>, and <a href="Botany" title="Botany">botany</a>. In 1873 he also became one of several part-time participants in conducting a comprehensive geological survey of <a href="Wisconsin" title="Wisconsin">Wisconsin</a>. His <a href="Geological_map" title="Geological map">geological mapping</a> work in southeastern Wisconsin, a region mantled with thick <a href="Glacial_deposit" class="mw-redirect" title="Glacial deposit">glacial deposits</a>, led him to recognize multiple episodes of <a href="Glaciation" class="mw-redirect" title="Glaciation">glaciation</a> during the <a href="Pleistocene" title="Pleistocene">Pleistocene</a>. His terminology for <a href="Glacial_stage" class="mw-redirect" title="Glacial stage">glacial stages</a> in North America is still in use, with minor modifications.
</p><p>In 1875 he started a business with his brother and sold spring water, a popular brand at the time.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1876 Chamberlin became chief geologist for the Wisconsin geological survey, supervising the completion of the survey and the publication of the four-volume report, for which he authored sections on glacial deposits, <a href="Paleozoic" title="Paleozoic">Paleozoic</a> and <a href="Precambrian" title="Precambrian">Precambrian</a> <a href="Bedrock" title="Bedrock">bedrock</a> geology, <a href="Carbonate_hosted_lead_zinc_ore_deposits" class="mw-redirect" title="Carbonate hosted lead zinc ore deposits">lead-zinc ore deposits</a>, <a href="Artesian_well" title="Artesian well">artesian wells</a>, and <a href="Soil" title="Soil">soils</a>. The project brought him national attention and led to his appointment as head of the glacial division of the <a href="US_Geological_Survey" class="mw-redirect" title="US Geological Survey">US Geological Survey</a> in 1881. He later was president of the <a href="University_of_Wisconsin%E2%80%93Madison" title="University of Wisconsin–Madison">University of Wisconsin</a> (1887 to 1892).
</p><p>In 1890,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and again in 1897,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chamberlin wrote "The method of multiple working hypotheses", in which he advocated the importance of simultaneously evaluating several hypotheses, rejecting those that conflict with available data, and ending with the one hypothesis supported by the data. This stood in contrast to what he called the <i>single ruling theory</i>, which encouraged scientists to find supporting data and not challenge it with difficult tests. The paper is considered a landmark <sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> on the scientific method, was an inspiration for the approach called <a href="Strong_inference" title="Strong inference">strong inference</a>, and was reprinted in 1965.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1892 Chamberlin accepted the offer to organize a department of geology at the new <a href="University_of_Chicago" title="University of Chicago">University of Chicago</a>, where he remained as a professor until 1918. From 1898 to 1914 he was president of the <a href="Chicago_Academy_of_Sciences" class="mw-redirect" title="Chicago Academy of Sciences">Chicago Academy of Sciences</a>.
</p><p>In 1899 Chamberlin wrote, <i>An Attempt to Frame a Working Hypothesis of the Cause of Glacial Periods on an Atmospheric Basis</i>, and developed at length the idea that changes in climate could result from changes in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and wrote about <a href="Climate_engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Climate engineering">climate actions</a>:

</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>When the temperature is rising after a glacial episode, dissociation is promoted, and the ocean gives forth its carbon dioxide at an increased rate, and thereby assists in accelerating the amelioration of climate.
</p><p>A study of the life of the geological periods seems to indicate that there were very notable fluctuations in the total mass of living matter. To be sure there was a reciprocal relation between the life of the land and that of the sea, so that when the latter was extended upon the continental platforms and greatly augmented, the former was contracted, but notwithstanding this it seems clear that the sum of life activity fluctuated notably during the ages. It is believed that on the whole it was greatest at the periods of sea extension and mild climates, and least at the times of disruption and climatic intensification. This factor then acted antithetically to the carbonic acid freeing previously noted, and, so far as it went, tended to offset its effects
</p><p>
It now becomes necessary to assign agencies capable of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a rate sufficiently above the normal rate of supply, at certain times, to produce glaciation; and on the other hand, capable of restoring it to the atmosphere at certain other times in sufficient amounts to produce mild climates.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote>
<p>Chamberlin was elected to the <a href="American_Academy_of_Arts_and_Sciences" title="American Academy of Arts and Sciences">American Academy of Arts and Sciences</a> in 1901 and the United States <a href="National_Academy_of_Sciences" title="National Academy of Sciences">National Academy of Sciences</a> in 1903.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Their theory, the <a href="Chamberlin-Moulton_planetesimal_hypothesis" class="mw-redirect" title="Chamberlin-Moulton planetesimal hypothesis">Chamberlin-Moulton planetesimal hypothesis</a>, received favorable support for almost a third of a century, but passed out of favor by the late 1930s. It ultimately was discarded in the 1940s by the realization it was incompatible with the <a href="Angular_momentum" title="Angular momentum">angular momentum</a> of <a href="Jupiter" title="Jupiter">Jupiter</a>. A portion of the theory stating that smaller objects — <a href="Planetesimal" title="Planetesimal">planetesimals</a> — gradually collided to build the planets by <a href="Accretion_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Accretion theory">accretion</a> is still well-regarded. From his theories and other geological evidence he concluded that Earth was much older than assumed by <a href="Lord_Kelvin" title="Lord Kelvin">Lord Kelvin</a> (ca 100 million years) at the time. His speculations about the source of energy for such a long-lived Sun were prescient, involving the ability of the Sun to somehow extract energy from the inner structures of the atom.
