Gerhard H. Eisbacher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard H. Eisbacher (born June 1935 ) is an Austrian geologist and university professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology , who mainly deals with tectonics .

Eisbacher received his doctorate both in Innsbruck (1966 in mineralogy) and at Princeton University . He was with the Geological Survey of Canada (where he dealt with regional geology and slope stability) and in the early 1980s Adjunct Professor at Simon Fraser University . From 1985 to 2003 he was director of the Geological Institute of KIT, which during this time became the Institute for Regional and Historical Geology.

He published a textbook on tectonics and applied geology (environmental and raw material geology), a regional geological guide for Baden and a geological survey of North America (he was at Princeton in the 1960s). Eisbacher was involved in seismic tectonic explorations of the Eastern Alps (Transalp), the Carpathian Mountains and the Black Forest.
