Marc-Auguste Pictet

Marc-Auguste Pictet Marc-Auguste Pictet (; 23 July 1752 – 19 April 1825) was a Genevan scientific journalist and experimental natural philosopher.

Pictet's main contribution to learning was his editing of the scientific section of the ''Bibliothèque Britannique'' (1796–1815), a publication devoted to the diffusion on the Continent of knowledge and arts produced in Great Britain. His own scientific research focused on the fields of physical science, especially calorimetry, but also astronomy, geology, meteorology and technology, especially chronometry and the manufacture of fine earthenware.
