Hans Ramberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Ramberg (born March 15, 1917 in Trondheim ; † June 7, 1998 ) was a geologist and mineralogist born in Norway . The mineral rambergite was named after him. He was a pioneer in simulating tectonic processes with a centrifuge .

life and career

Ramberg studied geology at the University of Oslo , where he received his doctorate in 1946. Ramberg worked at the University of Chicago (1948–1961), in the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution for Science (1952–1955), at the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (1960–1961) and for the remainder of his scientific career at Uppsala University ( 1961-1982).

Awards

In 1967 he became a member of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, in 1969 he received the Celsius Medal and in 1972 the Wollaston Medal . Furthermore, Ramberg was awarded the Arthur L. Day Medal by the GSA in 1976 and the Arthur Holmes Medal by the EGU in 1983 .
