Hubert Sterba (born February 4, 1945 in Vienna ) is professor of forestry yield theory and was rector at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna from 1985 to 1989 .

Live and act

Sterba studied forestry at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna and graduated in 1967 with a Dipl.-Ing. In 1970 he graduated as Dr. nat. techn. also at BOKU Vienna. From 1968 to 1973 Sterba was an assistant at the Institute for Site Studies at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. In 1973 he received a research grant at the Institute for Yield Science in Munich with Ernst Assmann and Franz. 1974–1979 he was an assistant at the Institute for Forest Yield Science with Walter Bitterlich. 1974 Habilitation in forest biometrics, wood measurement and forest yield theory. In 1979 he was appointed Ord. Univ. Professor for Forestry Yield Science at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. From 1980 to 1984 he was chairman of the forest and timber industry at BOKU, from 1986 to 1989 he was rector of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna and from 1981 to 1989 he was a consultant for the Austrian Forest Inventory. He then worked one semester each at the Intermountain Forest Research Station, Moscow, Idaho with Robert A. Monserud and Albert Stage, and another semester at Virginia Technical University with Harold Burkhart. 1989–2009 he was Vice President of the Österr. Forest Association, 1996–1997 chairman of the forestry and timber industry, BOKU and 1996–2000 chairman of the doctoral study commission at BOKU. 1997–2001 he was the spokesman for the special research area Forest Ecosystem Restoration (F008; Fund for the Promotion of Scientific Research) and 2004–2006 head of the Department of Forest and Soil Sciences at BOKU. From 2009 until his retirement in 2013 he was Dean of Studies at BOKU.
