Sauer was a professor for over 50 years at the Univ. of California at Berkeley, where he built a distinguished graduate school. A great influence on a generation of geographers, he sought to unify the areas of physical and human geography through an essentially historical methodology.

Among his 21 books and monographs are Agricultural Origins and Dispersals (1952) and Northern Mists (1968).
