Agassiz ya saka kansa cikin aikin da sha'awa wanda zai ci gaba da bayyana sauran ayyukan rayuwarsa. An kammala aikin bayanin kifin Brazil kuma an buga shi a shekarar 1829. Bayan haka, sai aka yi bincike kan tarihin kifin da aka samu a Tafkin Neuchâtel .

An buga littattafai biyar na littafinsa na *Recherches sur les poissons fossils* ( *Bincike kan Kifin Burbushin Halitta* ) daga 1833 zuwa 1843. An zana su da kyau, musamman ta Joseph Dinkel .  A lokacin tattara kayan aiki don wannan aikin, Agassiz ya ziyarci manyan gidajen tarihi a Turai. Lokacin da ya haɗu da Cuvier a Paris, ya sami ƙarfafawa da taimako sosai daga gare shi.

A wannan shekarar, an zaɓe shi memba na ƙasashen waje na Kwalejin Kimiyya ta Royal Swedish . Kafin wannan shawara, Goethe, de Saussure, Ignaz Venetz, Jean de Charpentier, Karl Friedrich Schimper, da sauransu sun yi nazarin dusar ƙanƙara ta Alps, kuma Goethe,  Charpentier, da Schimper  sun ma kammala da cewa tubalan duwatsu masu tsayi da suka watse a kan gangaren da kololuwar tsaunukan Jura an motsa su a can ta hanyar dusar ƙanƙara. Waɗannan ra'ayoyin sun jawo hankalin Agassiz, kuma ya tattauna su da Charpentier da Schimper, waɗanda ya raka su a tafiye-tafiye a jere zuwa Alps. Har ma Agassiz ya gina bukka a kan ɗaya daga cikin Glaciers na Aar kuma na ɗan lokaci ya zama gidansa don bincika tsarin da motsin kankara. 

Agassiz ya ziyarci Ingila, kuma tare da William Buckland, masanin kimiyyar halitta na Ingila kaɗai wanda ya raba ra'ayoyinsa, ya yi rangadin Tsibiran Burtaniya don neman abubuwan mamaki na ƙanƙara, kuma ya gamsu cewa ka'idarsa ta zamanin ƙanƙara daidai ce.  A shekara ta 1840, Agassiz ya buga wani littafi mai juzu'i biyu, *Études sur les glaciers* ("Nazarin Kan Glaciers").  A ciki, ya tattauna motsin glaciers, moraines ɗinsu, da tasirinsu wajen lanƙwasa da kewaye duwatsu da kuma samar da striations da *roches moutonnées* da aka gani a cikin shimfidar wurare irin na Alps.

Buga aikin ya ba da sabon kwarin gwiwa ga nazarin abubuwan da suka faru a kan dusar ƙanƙara a duk sassan duniya. 

Agassiz, wanda ya saba da dusar ƙanƙara ta baya-bayan nan, da kuma masanin ilimin ƙasa na Ingila William Buckland, sun ziyarci tsaunukan Scotland a shekarar 1840. A can, sun sami hujjoji bayyanannu a wurare daban-daban na ayyukan ƙanƙara. An sanar da gano wannan ga Ƙungiyar Masana Ƙasa ta London a cikin sadarwa a jere. An fahimci cewa yankunan tsaunuka na Ingila, Wales, da Ireland sune cibiyoyin watsa tarkacen ƙanƙara. Agassiz ya lura cewa "manyan zanen ƙanƙara, kamar waɗanda ke wanzuwa a yanzu a Greenland, sun taɓa rufe dukkan ƙasashen da ake samun tsakuwa mara tsari (dutse mai zurfi); cewa wannan tsakuwa gabaɗaya an samar da ita ne ta hanyar haɗa zanen kankara a saman ƙasa, da sauransu." 

A shekarunsa na ƙarshe, Agassiz ya yi amfani da ka'idodinsa na glacial a fannin ilimin ƙasa na yankunan zafi na Brazil, ciki har da Amazon. Agassiz ya fara da wani hasashe mai aiki wanda za a iya gwada shi ta hanyar sakamakon aikin filin don a ga ko dai ba a kammala ba, ko kuma a tabbatar da hujja ko kuma a musanta ta.

An raba dajin Amazon zuwa manyan tubalan biyu ta hanyar babban savanna a lokacin LGM.

## Amurka
Da taimakon tallafin kuɗi daga sarkin Prussia, Agassiz ya ketare Tekun Atlantika a kaka ta 1846 don bincika tarihin halitta da ilimin ƙasa na Arewacin Amurka da kuma gabatar da darasi na laccoci kan "Shirin Halitta kamar yadda aka nuna a Masarautar Dabbobi"  ta hanyar gayyata daga John Amory Lowell, a Cibiyar Lowell da ke Boston, Massachusetts .
