Dia paling dikenal sebagai penulis Principles of Geology, yang mempopulerkan konsep James Hutton mengenai Uniformitarianisme – gagasan bahwa bumi dibentuk oleh tenaga yang terus bergerak secara perlahan bahkan hingga saat ini. Lyell adalah kawan dekat Charles Darwin dan ikut berpengaruh terhadap pemikirannya.
