Dieter Eckstein, 1939-2021 and his rich legacy of dendrochronology in Slovenia and the world

Čufar, Katarina (author)

Prof. Dr. Dieter Eckstein (1939 - 2021) was a leading scientist, teacher, mentor, leader, promoter and motivator in the field of dendrochronology and wood biology. After graduation from wood science and technology and receiving a PhD in dendrochronology, he was professor of wood biology at the University of Hamburg (UH). From 1995-2004, he was Dean of the Department of Wood Biology, UH, and Director of the Institute of Wood Biology and Wood Protection at the Federal Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products in Hamburg, Germany. His work had a decisive influence on the development of wood anatomy, wood biology and dendrochronology and his laboratory was a reference point for dendrochronology worldwide. He supported dendrochronologists throughout Europe and the world in their pioneering work to establish dendrochronology laboratories and develop dendrochronology in numerous countries, including SloveniaProf. dr. Dieter Eckstein (1939-2021) je bil vodilni znanstvenik, učitelj, mentor, vodja in motivator na področju dendrokronologije in biologije lesa. Po diplomi iz lesarstva in doktoratu iz dendrokronologije je deloval kot univerzitetni profesor za biologijo lesa na Univerzi Hamburg (UH). Med leti 1995-2004 je bil vodja Ordinariata za biologijo lesa, UH in direktor Inštituta za biologijo in zaščito lesa pri Zveznem raziskovalnem centru za gozdarstvo in lesarstvo v Hamburgu. Njegovo delo je imelo ključen vpliv na razvoj anatomije in biologije lesa ter dendrokronologije, njegov laboratorij pa je bil referenčna točka za dendrokronologijo v svetovnem merilu. V svoji karieri je podpiral ustanavljanje novih dendrokronoloških laboratorijev in promocijo dendrokronologije v številnih državah po Evropi in svetu, tudi v Sloveniji
