Professor of the University of Paris (since 1904). Major works on tectonics, stratigraphy, paleontology, regional geology (Alpes, Provence). In his theoretical constructions he adhered to the theories of contraction (compression) of the Earth and isostasy. He made a major contribution to the development of the theory of geosynclines .
He supported the concept of cyclical development of geological processes, consistently repeating each other from one geological “cycle” to another. Considering the history of the development of geosynclines and platforms (“continental areas”), he tried to prove that sea transgressions on continental areas in time correspond to regressions in geosynclines and vice versa (“Og's law”). The geology course of Og helped to raise the level of teaching this science in many countries, including Russia (7 editions).
Content
Biography
Emil Og was born in Dryusenham , Lower Rhine. He lived in the city Niderbron . In childhood he became interested in geology and paleontology, collected minerals and minerals in the vicinity.
Education
Og graduated from the University of Strasbourg, where at the end of the course he was an assistant with Professor Beneke. Here he received a doctorate in geology. In 1888 he left Alsace, moved to Paris and began teaching at the University of Paris (Sorbonne).
Scientific Activities
In 1900, Og published his work on the origin of the geosynclines "Les géosynclinanx et les aires continentales".
In 1902, Og was elected president of the French Geological Society, and subsequently elected a member of the Paris Academy of Sciences and a member of many learned societies in France and beyond.
Since 1904 - Professor of the University of Paris, Head of the Department of Geology.
Og's works on geology and paleontology were numerous and diverse. The geology course stands out in particular, in which he not only summarized the current state of science, but also made additions or a new grouping of facts to almost every chapter. Among such questions is the doctrine of geosynclines, ideas about the formation in the crust of local basins filled with marine sediments.
Og paid much attention to works on stratigraphy and tectonics. This is evidenced by his essays on stratigraphy of different geological periods (Jurassic, Cretaceous, Neogene, post-Tertiary period) for the Great French Encyclopedia and The Course of Geology, the first volume of which appeared in 1907, and the last part of the second volume in 1911. This course in France has sustained five editions. The first volume was translated into Russian in 1913 and was published in several editions.
Of Oag's paleontological works, his work on the development and classification of ammonoids is most important. According to Og, studying the individual and phylogenetic development of ammonoids, one can distinguish more complete evolutionary series than studying any other group of minerals, and it is even more likely that ammonoids are inhabitants of deep waters, those areas of the sea where sediments have been deposited without interruptions and where there are few or no gaps in the chronological series of deposits.
All his works are imbued with one common idea, to highlight the course of development of the face of the earth and the history of the development of the organic world in successive geological epochs and catch the interconnection and legitimacy in the course of changes and living and dead nature.
Emil Og died in Niederbronn (Lower Rhine) on August 29, 1927 .
