Johannes Schubert (physicist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Oscar Schubert (born June 11, 1859 in Dreischweinsköpfe near Danzig , † September 29, 1947 in Eberswalde ) was a German mathematician , physicist , geodesist and meteorologist .

Life

After graduating from high school, Johannes Schubert devoted himself mainly to the studies of physics and mathematics, among others with Ferdinand von Lindemann , at the University of Königsberg , before he started working at the Philosophical Faculty in 1886 with the thesis “ About the integration of a differential equation for patches of surface created by confocal ellipses and hyperbolas are limited " to the Dr. phil. received his doctorate .

As a result, after a brief teaching activity in Elbing and Deutsch Krone, in the spring of 1887 he accepted the offer for the assistant position with Anton Müttrich, professor of mathematics, physics and meteorology at the Eberswalde Forest Academy . Johannes Schubert, who had been appointed private lecturer in 1889, was giving lectures in geodesy and applied mathematics at the time .

In December 1896 Schubert was awarded the title of professor “In recognition of his achievements” - but without receiving any such remuneration. In March 1903, Schubert was appointed Professor of Physics, Meteorology and Geodesy by means of a certificate of appointment from Kaiser Wilhelm II. From this point onwards, his research activities increasingly focused on meteorology. Johannes Schubert, who held the post of rector between 1924 and 1925 , remained scientifically active as a substitute for his successors at the Eberswalde Forest Academy after his retirement in 1925.

Johannes Schubert, who was honored with the Goethe Medal for Art and Science for his services in the field of forest meteorology on the occasion of his 85th birthday in 1944 , died on September 29, 1947 in Eberswalde. In 1994 his daughter Heilwig Augustiny established the Johannes Schubert Foundation in his honor.

Act

The practice-oriented researcher Johannes Schubert, who took part in numerous extensive excursions , developed the “sling psychrometer with radiation protection” to measure air humidity and initiated the construction of the lysimeter system on the Eberswalde “Drachenkopf” . Schubert placed the ecological effects of the forest in the foreground of his scientific ambitions.
