1937: Classifying the World's regions
In 1937, a committee of the GA reported their progress on defining the world's regions. It was a 30 page article, exploring classifications of regions, with maps such as those of Köppen and Herbertson. Some of those ideas can still be seen in textbooks over 80 years later.
