Eduard Suess
Eduard Suess (; 20 August 1831 - 26 April 1914) was an Austrian geologist and an expert on the geography of the Alps. He is responsible for hypothesising two major former geographical features, the supercontinent Gondwana (proposed in 1861) and the Tethys Ocean. Biography Eduard Suess was born on 20 August 1831 in London, England, the oldest son of Adolph Heinrich Suess, a Lutheran Saxon merchant, and mother Eleonore Friederike Zdekauer. Adolph Heinrich Suess was born on 11 March 1797 in Saxony, Holy Roman Empire and died on 24 May 1862 in Vienna, Austrian Empire, German confederation; Eleonore Friederike Zdekauer was born in Prague, nowadays part of the Czech Republic, which once belonged to the Holy Roman Empire and the Austrian Empire. When Eduard Suess was born, his family relocated to Prague, and then to Vienna when he was 14. He became interested in geology at a young age. While working as an assistant at the Hofmuseum in Vienna, he published his first paper—on the g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hans Suess
Hans Eduard Suess (December 16, 1909 – September 20, 1993) was an Austrian born United States, American physical chemist and nuclear physicist. He was a grandson of the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess. Career Suess earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Vienna in 1935 under the supervision of Philipp Gross. During World War II, he was part of a team of Germany, German scientists studying nuclear power and was advisor to the production of heavy water in a Norwegian plant (see Operation Gunnerside). After the war, he collaborated on the Nuclear shell model, shell model of the atomic nucleus with future (1963) Nobel Prize in Physics, Nobel Prize winner J. Hans D. Jensen, Hans Jensen. In 1950, Suess emigrated to the United States. He did research in the field of cosmochemistry, investigating the Abundance of the chemical elements#Abundance of elements in the Solar System, abundance of certain elements in meteorites with Harold Urey (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1934) a ...

Suess (lunar Crater)
Suess is a small lunar impact crater on the Oceanus Procellarum. It is a circular, cup-shaped feature with a higher albedo than the surroundings. The closest significant crater is Reiner, about 150 kilometers to the west-northwest. The lunar mare that surrounds Suess is marked by the rays radiating from the crater Kepler Johannes Kepler (; ; 27 December 1571 – 15 November 1630) was a German astronomer, mathematician, astrologer, natural philosopher and writer on music. He is a key figure in the 17th-century Scientific Revolution, best known for his laws o ... to the east-northeast. The long, sinuous rille named Rima Suess begins about 30 kilometers to the east of Suess, and winds its way in a generally north-northwesterly direction for a length of almost 200 kilometers. Satellite craters By convention, these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Suess. File:Suess F crater AS12-54-8112 ...

Suess Effect
The Suess effect, also referred to as the 13C Suess effect, is a change in the ratio of the atmospheric concentrations of heavy isotopes of carbon (13C and 14C) by the wikt:admixture, admixture of large amounts of fossil-fuel derived CO2, which is depleted in 13CO2 and contains no 14CO2. It is named for the Austrian chemist Hans Suess, who noted the influence of this effect on the accuracy of radiocarbon dating. More recently, the Suess effect has been used in studies of climate change. The term originally referred only to dilution of atmospheric 14CO2. The concept was later extended to dilution of 13CO2 and to other reservoirs of carbon such as the oceans and soils. Carbon isotopes Carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes. About 99% of carbon on Earth is carbon-12 (Carbon-12, 12C), about 1% is carbon-13 (Carbon-13, 13C), and a trace amount is carbon-14 (Carbon-14, 14C). The 12C and 13C isotopes are stable, while 14C decays radioactively to nitrogen-14 (Nitrogen-14, 14N) wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Suess Land
Suess Land is a peninsula in King Christian X Land, East Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. History This peninsula was named by A.G. Nathorst after Austrian geologist Eduard Suess (1831–1914) at the time of his 1899 venture searching for traces of the lost Andrée expedition. Nathorst had previously translated a book by Eduard Suess into Swedish. Geography Suess Land has a mountainous, Alpine terrain. It is located west of Ymer Island, south of Andree Land, north of Lyell Land and northeast of Gletscherland.Google Earth It is bounded in the west by Kjerulf Fjord, in the north by Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, in the northeast by the Antarctic Sound, in the east by the King Oscar Fjord, in the south by the Kempe Fjord Kempe Fjord ( da, Kempes Fjord) is a fjord in King Christian X Land, eastern Greenland.
