Henri Hogard
Henri Hogard (born March 16, 1808 in Épinal , † November 29, 1880 in Gérardmer , Vosges ) was a French geologist and pioneer of geological research in the Vosges.
After an apprenticeship as a land surveyor with his father, he became the highest road overseer in the Vosges department of the Vosges in 1840 . He also dealt with geology, found evidence of an earlier glaciation of the Vosges (with which he supported the Ice Age theory of Louis Agassiz ) and in 1845 published a detailed geological map of the Vosges on a scale of 1: 120,000.
