Cord Ernstson
Kord Ernstson (* 1942 ) is a German geophysicist and since 2000 an adjunct professor at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg .
Life
Ernstson studied at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel a . a. the subjects Geophysics and Geology and a PhD in 1974 in geophysics with a thesis on the Ries - impact craters .
At the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg he took over the teaching of geophysics from 1976 and initiated several research projects on geophysics and geology funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In 1985 he completed his habilitation in geology. He has been an adjunct professor since 2000, initially at the Faculty of Geosciences and since 2007 at the Faculty of Philosophy I, into which the former was integrated. In addition, Ernstson was visiting lecturer at various universities and institutes.
His research focuses on regional geology and geophysics, fracture mechanics of rocks and, in particular, impact research with investigations of impact structures. He dealt with the Nördlinger Ries , the Steinheim basin and the Rochechouart crater . In addition, he postulated the extremely controversial impact structures of Azuara and Rubielos de la Cérida as well as the Chiemgau meteorite crater scattered field, and he strongly advocates their acceptance in the scientific community.
Since 1990 Ernstson has concentrated on a freelance activity as a consulting geophysicist and geologist. a. develops geophysical measuring systems and is a scientific advisor to Ebinger Prüf- und Ortungstechnik GmbH.
He is a member of the German Geophysical Society , Meteoritical Society and the American Geophysical Union .
