Julius Hesemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Richard August Hesemann (born July 29, 1901 in Hanover ; † 1980 ) was a German geologist, especially known as a pioneer in the history of bed load.

Life

Hesemann received his doctorate in geology from the TH Hannover in 1927 on iron ore from the Devonian in the Harz Mountains . From 1927 he worked for the Prussian Geological State Institute in Berlin in geological mapping and began his research on debris , which serve as reference marks for mapping and dating the moraines of the ice advances from Scandinavia during the Quaternary Ice Ages. To this end, he introduced the Hesemann formula, which is based on the division of Scandinavia into 4 zones (Zone I: Aland area, Finland, Lapland, Zone II: Dalarna, area around Stockholm, central Baltic Sea, Zone III: southern Sweden, southern Baltic Sea, zone IV: Norway). His method was later refined by Gerd Lüttig and Dutch geologists.

In 1959 he became head of the geological service of North Rhine-Westphalia in Krefeld. In 1966 he retired. From 1961 he was also a professor at the University of Cologne .
