معرفی
Horst Peter Hann is a Scientific Staff Member (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Tübingen, Germany, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and the Geo- and Environmental Research Center (GUZ). He has been a key contributor to geological research and teaching since joining the university in 1993, following a prior career as a scientist at the Geological Institute in Bucharest, Romania (1968–1993).

Dr. Hann holds a PhD in geology and petrography (1983) and an MSc in geology and ore deposits (1968), both from the University of Bucharest. His research spans structural geology, tectonics, petrography, and geological mapping, with significant fieldwork in the Carpathian Mountains, Black Forest, and Bavarian Forest. He has led and participated in EU-funded projects on regional geological mapping and deep geothermal energy evaluation.
His extensive publication record includes over 100 scientific papers, textbooks such as Pegmatites from the South Carpathians (1987) and Gesteinsbestimmung – Grundlagen und Praxis (2016, 2018, 2023), and numerous geological maps at scales of 1:25,000 to 1:100,000. His recent research, as reflected in the 15 most recent articles, focuses on tectonic evolution, zircon geochronology, terrane analysis, and metamorphic studies in the Carpathians and Variscan belt, integrating field mapping with isotopic and petrological data to reconstruct paleogeographic and geodynamic histories.
- Award for Geology 'Grigore Cobalcescu' of the Romanian Academy of Sciences
Horst Peter Hann has advised or collaborated with multiple researchers and has contributed to major geological mapping initiatives in Germany and Romania. He has worked closely with institutions such as the Geological Surveys of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, and his work supports both academic research and applied geothermal energy projects. He is actively involved in the Geodynamics Group at Tübingen, contributing to projects on Alpine and Variscan tectonics.
