Arno Kleber

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arno Kleber (born May 11, 1955 in Schwabach ) is a German geographer ( geomorphologist and soil geographer ). He holds the professorship for Physical Geography / Regional Geography of Central Europe at the Technical University of Dresden .

Life

Arno Kleber attended Adam-Kraft-Gymnasium (Schwabach) , which he graduated from high school in 1975. 1975–1981 he studied geography and economics at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg .

After completing his studies, he took up a doctoral degree at the Catholic University of Eichstätt , Chair of Physical Geography (Helmut Stingl), and moved with Stingl in 1983 to the University of Bayreuth , Chair of Geomorphology, where he received his doctorate in 1987 . He completed his habilitation there in 1993 and was appointed associate professor in 1997. After several professorships ( Philipps-Universität Marburg , Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , Universität Bayreuth and Technische Universität Dresden ), he accepted an offer for a C4 professorship at the Technical University of Dresden in 2004 and declined an offer for a W3 professorship in 2007 from the University of Leipzig .

Act

After completing his doctorate, Arno Kleber focused his research on top layers . He made the German cover layer concept internationally known and tried to transfer the concept to other areas of the temperate zone . He placed a focus on the possibilities of reconstructing past climate changes . Another focus is the investigation of the quantification of environmentally significant processes that are controlled by surface layers, such as water balance and pollution.

Kleber is a member of various scientific societies such as the German Soil Science Society , DEUQUA and INQUA , Geological Society of America , Soil Science Society of America and American Association for the Advancement of Science .

From 2006 to 2012, Arno Kleber was the spokesman for the geosciences department at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences (until September 2012 forest, geo- and hydrosciences) at the TU Dresden. He was also Dean of Studies for Geography from 2006 to 2016 and was thus largely responsible for the development of the geographic courses.

Together with his colleague Jana Krautz, Kleber was awarded the TU Dresden teaching award in 2018 by the Society of Friends and Supporters of the TU Dresden. The module “Key Problems of Society in Teacher Education” was awarded as a particularly innovative teaching concept, which is funded as part of the “Quality Offensive Teacher Education” of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
