Flood Reconstruction: Palaeohydrological Approaches, Methods and Results

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Herget studied geography with geology and hydrology at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in 1986-1992. In his dissertation in 1996 he investigated the terraces of the River Lippe and in his habilitation in 2003 he reconstructed the Pleistocene ice-dammed lake outburst floods in the Altai Mountains, Siberia. Since 2004 he is professor of physical geography at Bonn University, Germany. In his scientific work, he focusses on palaeohydrology, flood reconstruction and geomorphology.

教授德國的尤爾根·赫爾蓋特（Jürgen Herget）於1986年至1992年在波飼大學（Ruhr-Universität Bochum）學習地理，並專攻地質學和水文學。他在1996年的論文中研究了利佩河（River Lippe）的階地，並在2003年的資格論文中重建了西伯利亞阿爾泰山（Altai Mountains）更新世冰壩湖的洪水爆發。自2004年以來，他擔任德國波恩大學（Bonn University）物理地理學教授。在他的科學研究中，他專注於古水文學、洪水重建和地貌學。
