Burkhard Wilhelm Scharf (born September 2, 1943 in Posen ) is a German biologist who has published in the fields of zoology , limnology and paleolimnology .
Life
After studying and completing his doctorate at Kiel University , Burkhard Scharf worked at the Rhineland-Palatinate State Office for Water Management in Mainz , primarily on "lake therapy". In 1992 he moved to the Environmental Research Center Leipzig-Halle (UFZ), branch of the Institute for Water Research in Magdeburg , where he worked until his retirement in 2004.
In his honor a colloquium was held in Kulice near Nowogard in West Pomerania ( Poland ) in 2004 . The lectures are published in the journal Studia Quaternaria (Volume 21, 2004). held.
Burkhard Scharf has lived in Bremen since 2006.
Act
zoology
Burkhard Scharf has researched the shellfish fauna of Germany, especially the Maar lakes in the Eifel , as well as of waters on other continents.
Limnology
He has mainly carried out work on lake therapy (improving the water quality of lakes) and has written several summarizing papers on this.
Paleolimnology
Paleolimnology makes it possible to reconstruct the history of the lake by evaluating information contained in drill cores. Burkhard Scharf has drilled holes in the sediments of lakes in Germany (e.g. Maarseen, Arendsee), southern Sweden , Central and South America , India and Indonesia .
