Tribute to Thomas Mosimann | From 1988 to 2014 Professor at the Institute of Physical Geography and Landscape Ecology

The Faculty of Natural Sciences sadly announces the loss of Prof. Dr. Thomas Mosimann.

It is with great sadness, but also with gratitude, that Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University Hannover takes farewell of a highly esteemed, committed researcher and academic teacher.  He had a great influence on the teaching and research in geography – the reorientation of Hannover's physical geography towards modern landscape-ecological research, the communication of complex interrelationships in an understandable and inspiring form, the transfer of scientific knowledge and methodological innovations into practice are a few milestones to mention. 

The Institute of Physical Geography and Landscape Ecology pays tribute to this distinguished scholar of geography [German content].

We will honour his memory and always remember his work with gratitude.
