Gerhard Wiegleb (biologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard Wiegleb (born January 14, 1948 in Celle ) is a German botanist and ecologist . From 1993 to 2016 he held the chair for general ecology at the BTU Cottbus and the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg .

Life

After graduating from high school in 1966, Gerhard Wiegleb studied biology and chemistry from 1966 to 1973 at the Technical University of Hanover and the University of Göttingen . He completed his studies with a diploma thesis in biology on a vegetation- related topic in the 1972 vegetation period on Friday 1973. In 1976 he was awarded a doctorate degree with a thesis supervised by Freitag and Heinz Ellenberg on the subject of “Investigations into the relationship between hydrochemical environmental factors and macrophyte vegetation in stagnant waters in southern Lower Saxony”. rer. nat. PhD at the University of Göttingen .

He then worked as a research assistant at the Universities of Göttingen and Oldenburg ; after his habilitation in 1983, he was professor for botany with a focus on ecology at the University of Oldenburg from 1985 to 1991. From 1991 to 1992 he represented the professorship for special botany at the Ruhr University in Bochum . After a teaching position at the University of Oldenburg in 1992/93, he received a teaching position at the BTU Cottbus and was appointed professor of general ecology there in 1993. There he quickly devoted himself to research on the ecology of post-mining landscapes . Not only biological-ecological topics in the narrower sense played a role, but also questions of the development of the model, landscape planning and spatial planning, environmental ethics and environmental law. In May 1997, he turned down a call to the professorship for geobotany in April 1996. Gerhard Wiegleb left the University in Cottbus at the end of the summer semester 2016.

In addition to his extensive university teaching and research activities, he held managerial positions in a planning office. He completed longer research stays abroad in 1980 in the Netherlands ( Catholic University of Nijmegen ), 1985/86 and 2004 in Japan (Universities of Kobe and Saitama ). Further teaching and research activities took him to Venezuela ( University of Caracas ) in 2001 , to Brazil ( University of Belo Horizonte ) in 2003 , to India ( Tirupati ) in 2009 , to Vietnam ( VGU Ho Chi Minh City ) in 2011 and to Korea in 2012 ( Sangmyung University in Seoul and Incheon University ).

Gerhard Wiegleb lives in Cottbus.

Services

Gerhard Wiegleb has published numerous scientific papers since 1976 in the fields of botany (with a focus on the vegetation of rivers and the biology, systematics and ecology of spawning herbs and water cockfoots ), the history and theory of ecology and nature conservation in theory and practice.

Even before his election as dean of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Process Engineering , which he held from 2006 to 2011, he was instrumental in the development and accreditation of the English-language degree programs "Environmental and Resource Management" (Bachelor and Master).

The foundation of the Renaturation Ecology Working Group (today: Renaturation Ecology & Nature Conservation) of the Society for Ecology goes back to Gerhard Wiegleb's activities .
