Zusammenfassung

Untersuchungen jungtektonischer Bewegungen begannen am Ende des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts und sind verbunden mit den Namen von Wissenschaftlern aus verschiedenen Ländern. Ein wertvoller Beitrag zur Entwicklung dieser Seite der Wissenschaft wurde von der russischen Schule — beginnend mit den Arbeiten von M. V.Lomonosov im XVIII. Jahrhundert — geleistet. Im neunzehnten Jahrhundert wurde diese Richtung erfolgreich durch A. P.Karpinsky und A. P.Pavlov weitergeführt; Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts dann von V. A.Obruchev, N. I.Andrusov, A. D.Arkhangelsky, Reingard. Neotektonische Studien entwickelten sich besonders während der „sovietischen Ära“. Dies geschah in Verbindung mit der industriellen Entwicklung des Landes.

Die Arbeiten von V. A.Obruchev, G. F.Mirchink und anderen Wissenschaftlern dieser Periode leisteten einen großen Beitrag zur Entstehung des neuen Wissenschaftszweiges — Neotektonik.

Abstract

Study of young tectonic movements began at the end of XIXth century and is connected with the names of scientists from various countries. A valuable contribution to development of this branch of science was made by Russian school beginning with works by M. V.Lomonosov in the XVIII century. In XIX century this trend was successfully developed by A. P.Karpinsky, A. P.Pavlov, at the beginning of XXth century - V. A.Obruchev, N. I.Andrusov, A. D.Arkhangelsky, A. L.Reingard. Study of neotectonics in the USSR spread especially widely in the Soviet period (20–40ies) owing to industrial development of the country. Works by V. A.Obruchev, G. F.Mirchink and other Soviet scientists of that period contributed much to formation of a new branch of science — neotectonics.

Résumé

L'étude des mouvements néotectoniques, qui a débuté à la fin du XIXe siècle, est liée aux noms de savants de pays différents. L'école russe, avec les travaux de M. V. Lomonosov (XVIIIe siècle), a apporté une importante contribution au développement de cette branche des connaissances. Au XIXe siècle, cette direction de recherches s'est développée avec A. P. Karpinsky, A. P. Pavlov et au début du XXe siècle - avec V. A. Obruchev, N. I. Andrusov, A. D. Arkhangelsky et A. L. Reingard. L'étude de la néotectonique en URSS s'est spécialement répandue au cours des années 20–40 gràce au rapide développement industriel du pays. Les travaux de V. A. Obruchev, G. F. Mirchink et d'autres savants soviétiques de cette période ont beaucoup contribué à la formation d'une nouvelle branche de la science-la néotectonique.

Краткое содержание

Изучение молодых тек тонических движений началось в конце XIX века и связано с именами уче ных разных стран. Суще ственный вклад в развитие этой отрасли знаний в несла русская школа, н ачиная с работ М. В. Ломоносова в ХУШ веке. В XIX веке это н аправление исследов аний успешно развивали А. П. Карпинский, А. П. Пав лов, в начале XX века - В. А. О бручев, Н. И. Андрусов, А. Д. Архангельский, А. Л. Рейнгард. Особенно ши роко изучение неотектоники в СССР р азвернулось в советс кий период (20–40 годы) в связи с быстрым индустриал ьным развитием стран ы. Труды В. А. Обручева, Г. Ф. Мирчинка и др. сове тских ученых этого пе риода способствовали форм ированию новой отрасли науки — неотектоники.
