Following his graduation, he spent two years as a volunteer in the Vienna Meteorology Institute before becoming an employee of a university in Berlin. In 1880, he returned to Vienna and started teaching physics at the local university. In 1882, Margules was appointed an assistant at the Vienna Meteorology Institute, where he worked for the following 25 years. Margules laid the foundations of Atmospheric Physics, studying atmospheric pressure and the energy of storms. His works were of great importance, particularly for the study of cyclones and storms.
