Hans Ramberg is working in an area of geology where 60 years are a
short, often negligible period of time. This is not so in the lives
of men. For us it is a time for evaluating past accomplishments and
a time for friends to express their appreciation and admiration.
Some universities have become famous for this ability to foster
eminent scientists in one or several fields. The success of
Cambridge University in physics is a well-known example, but if we
ask ourselves whether the success of Oslo University in earth
sciences is not equally astonishing, then we see that Hans is yet
another example of this process; but it is not the whole story.
There were certainly promising prospects when he started his
studies in geology: V. M. Goldschmidt had just come back from
G6ttingen in Germany and Tom Barth had returned from the
Geophysical Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Two leaders in
geochemistry and petrology at the same time Hans became a student
of Barth, specializing in metamorphic rocks and their problems; but
soon the situation changed. Norway was occupied by the Germans and
the possibili ties for university studies almost vanished. However,
in spite of all difficulties he obtained his Ph.D. in 1946 and
began participating in the geological mapping of Greenland. In 1947
he went to the University of Chicago and stayed there until 1961
when he came to his present position in the University of Uppsala,
Sweden."
