    Karl Andrée (1880–1959) sedimentologist and marine geologist (2017)
    Springer
    In:  International Journal of Earth Sciences, 106 (8). pp. 2999-3003.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-06
    Description: Karl Andrée began studying questions of sedimentology and oceanography in 1908 when working as an assistant at the University of Marburg and he remained faithful to these subjects until his death in 1959. The vast majority of his scientific contributions, however, were published during his time at the University of Königsberg (1915–1945). There he published his fundamental papers on marine geology, all of which adhered strictly to the principles of uniformitarianism, and helped improve our understanding of sedimentary processes and the stratigraphic record. His scientific work has enormous breadth. In the course of 55 years, he published 124 individual papers and books, some of which became classic textbooks. His versatility is particularly evident in his book “Geology of the Seafloor”, which contains many pertinent observations and descriptions still relevant today, even if it has fallen out of fashion. This scientist and university teacher was the first to successfully present the huge field of marine geology in all its facet and to consider the deposition of marine sediments as a function of their geographical distribution.

    Travelogue of Konrad Keilhack (1858–1944), Geologist from Berlin, attending the International Geological Congress 1897 in St. Petersburg (Russia) (2015)
    Springer
    In:  International Journal of Earth Sciences, 104 (6). pp. 1693-1699.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-05-23
    Description: Keilhack reported his impressions from his participation at the International Geological Congress in Russia in 1897 in several consecutive articles. In the more than 100 years since that time, a lot has changed. Apart from the totally different style of scientific presentations, with almost no illustrations, except maps, being shown during a talk, field trips were also a very special event, involving huge amounts of logistics. More than 200 people were transported to very remote areas of the European part of Russia. As well as organizing transportation by coaches and horses, places to stay overnight had to be found in large numbers and special regulations had to be issued by the government to allow access to various outcrops. Keilhacks visit of the oil-producing sites around Baku are of special interest, since they belonged obviously to the most productive ones on the globe at that time.

    The first ascent to the volcano Cotopaxi in Ecuador by Wilhelm Reiss (1838–1908) (2014)
    Springer
    In:  International Journal of Earth Sciences, 103 (4). pp. 1175-1179.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-05-28
    Description: The volcano Cotopaxi in South America is 5,897 m high and is one of the highest active volcanoes of the world and the second highest volcano in the Andes after the Chimborazo (6,310 m). In Ecuador, there are more than 20 volcanoes contributing to the spectacular mountain range diving this country between the western and eastern lowlands. There have been more than 50 reports of volcanic activity at Cotopaxi since 1738, among which those from the years 1744, 1768, and 1877 are the largest. During the 1877 eruption, the whole summit glacier collapsed and a huge mudflow spread out for more than 100 km and flooded the city of Latacunga. Five years prior to this catastrophic event, the German geologist Wilhelm Reiss from the University of Heidelberg ascended Cotopaxi for the first time together with his supporter Angel M. Escobar from Columbia.

    Wolfgang Schott (1905–1989): the founder of quantitative paleoceanography (2016)
    Springer
    In:  International Journal of Earth Sciences, 105 (8). pp. 2355-2360.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-02-01
    Description: Wolfgang Schott is the pioneer in paleoceanography and has established this research field within marine geology. His papers from the first half of the twentieth century are all published in German; therefore, the most inspiring results are given here as original quotes in English, since they paved the ground for all scientific discussions on climate stratigraphy, past ocean currents, and glacial interglacial cycles.

    Hans Conrad Escher von der Linth, Geognost, Member of Parliament, Architect and Constructor of the Linthkanal (2018)
    Springer
    In:  International Journal of Earth Sciences, 107 (7). pp. 2639-2644.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-02-08
    Description: The Eschers, an old Swiss family which for many generations were members of the Council of Zurich, were dedicated to technical and economic development. Among them were numbered merchants, important librarians, historians, engineers and geoscientists. Hans Conrad Escher (1767–1823) was a merchant, naturalist, engineer, Member of Parliament, statesman and a genius illustrator of landscapes, who created the first geologically relevant and encompassing view of the Swiss Alps, including the first 360° panorama drawings. Showing enormous prescience, he designed and initiated the canalization of the Linth river in Glarus and led this enormous work of geological engineering and river regulation from start to finish.

    Hans Peter Cornelius (1888–1950): a perfect mapping geologist and scientific explorer of the Alps (2020)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: Hans Peter Cornelius was a squeamishly and accurately mapping field geologist with an eye for the finest detail as well as for the large-scale architectural structure of mountain ranges. His excellent work concerned the Rhaetian and Allgau Alps, South Tyrol, the Valais and Ticino in Switzerland and many regions in Austria. His publications on the Err-Julier Group, the Insubric Line, the Grossglockner Group, the Rax-Schneeberg Group, the alpine Grauwackenzone, and the Penninic series of the Western and Eastern Alps became particularly important.

    Early investigations of the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation of South Africa (2023)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: A.G. Bain (1797–1864) was probably the first to describe the deposits of the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation of South Africa in 1844, but still attributed their formation to a volcanic origin. It was not until P.C. Sutherland (1822–1908) in 1868 and 1870 that the series was recognised as a glacial formation. J. E. Dunn (1844–1937) named this deposit the Dwyka Series or Dwyka Conglomerate after the Dwyka River near Prince Albert in South Africa in 1886. This series contains scratched boulders and varved sediments, and the basement is characterised by rounded boulders and striated surfaces as evidence of glaciation.
