		Sabine was born in Dublin and educated at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, London.
		Sabine collaborated with English mathematician Charles Babbage from 1826 on a survey of magnetism in Britain, a project that was repeated by Sabine himself in the late 1850s.
		At Sabine's urging, an expedition to establish observatories in the southern hemisphere was sent out in 1839 and with the data thus accumulated, Sabine in 1851 discovered a 10-11-year periodic fluctuation in the number of magnetic storms.
