Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROGGER, WALDEMAR CHRISTOFER (1851 ) ,
Norwegian
  geologist, was born in Christiania on the loth of November 1851, and educated in that city. In 1876 he was appointed curator of the geological museum in his native city, and assistant on the Geological Survey. He was professor of
mineralogy
  and geology from 1881 to 18go in the university of Stockholm, and from 1890 in the university of Christiania. He also became
rector
  and president of the senate of the royal university of Christiania. His observations on the igneous rocks of
south
 
Tirol
  compared with those of Christiania afford much information oa the relations of the granitic and basic rocks. The subject of the differentiation of
rock
 -types in the process of solidification as plutonic or volcanic rocks from a particular magma received much attention from him. He dealt also with the Palaeozoic rocks of Norway, and with the
late
  glacial and post-glacial changes of level in the Christiania region. The honorary degree of Ph.D. was conferred upon him by the university of
Heidelberg
  and that of LL.D. by the university of Glasgow. The Murchison
medal
  of the Geological Society of London was awarded to him in 1891.
