Karl Boden (geologist)

Friedrich Wilhelm Karl Boden (born December 16, 1882 in Einbeck , † August 7, 1939 in Munich ) was a German geologist and paleontologist .

Boden's father owned a brewery in Einbeck. Karl Boden studied geology from 1903 at the University of Strasbourg under Alexander Tornquist and then under August Rothpletz at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich with his doctorate in 1907 (dissertation: The geological conditions of the Veronese Alps between the Adige and the Negrar valley ). He completed his habilitation in geology in Munich in 1912 and became a conservator at the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology in Munich in 1923 .

He worked in almost all areas of the geosciences from petrography, tectonics, practical geology to paleontology and paleogeography. Soil was mainly concerned with the geology of the Bavarian Alps and was involved in the transfer of the ceiling theory developed in the Western Alps to the Eastern Alps and examined the stratigraphy of conglomerates and sediments of the Tertiary in the Bavarian Alps and pre-Alps ( molasse , flysch ). He also mapped in the Bavarian Alps.
