Society for Geschiebekunde

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gesellschaft für Geschiebekunde eV (GfG), founded on October 6, 1984, has set itself the goal of promoting sediment research by bringing together scientists and laypeople , issuing its own publications, and building up the archive for Geschiebekunde in Hamburg , as well as the German archive for bed load research in Greifswald . The magazine "GeschIEBEKUNDE AKTUELL" has been published since 1985.

After the special issue 1 was published in December 1989 and the first issue of the new trade journal "ARCHIV FÜRESCHIEBEKUNDE" in January 1990, the company now has a wide range of publications. In exchange with these publications and through donations, it was possible to set up a library that is available to every member. Ingelore Hinz-Schallreuter has been the editor of the journals since 2013 .

The society has about 400 members who are organized in different sections.

The Archive for Geschiebekunde was founded on April 25, 1988 by the University of Hamburg and is administratively connected to the Geological-Paleontological Institute and Museum .

It consists of parts of his sediment collection, donations and his own finds. Kurt Hucke's (1882–1963) specialist library is also available. A traveling exhibition shows the geological range of possible finds in the bed load.

Annual meeting

At the annual conference, which takes place at the end of April, members and interested parties come together at different conference locations. A public evening lecture usually takes place on Friday. Saturday is characterized by a number of lectures on all topics related to movement, which ends with the general meeting.
