He felt strongly that experimentation was the key to understanding earth science. Jaggar constructed water flumes bedded by sand and gravel to understand stream erosion and melted rocks in furnaces to study the behavior of magmas. [4] As he matured as a scientist, he began to feel the increasing need for field experimentation. [2] Jaggar wrote:
