Life

In 1955 he obtained his diploma as a geologist in Berlin and was on the State Geological Commission in Berlin until 1958.

Then he went to Hamburg as an assistant at the Geological State Institute.

Alberti completed his habilitation in Hamburg in 1967 and has been a professor at the Geological State Institute of the University of Hamburg since 1971 . He is known for a standard work on the trilobites of Morocco (a classic site), the first part of which appeared in 1969 (at the same time his habilitation thesis). In addition to trilobites, he also worked on tentaculites from the Devonian . In addition to North Africa, he also conducted research in Sardinia.

He also published with his wife Lore Alberti († 2004).
