Hans Benndorf (13 December 1870 – 11 February 1953) was an Austrian physicist born in Zurich, and died in Graz. He made several contributions in the field of seismology and in his research of atmospheric electricity. He was the son of archaeologist Otto Benndorf (1838–1907) and the grandson of physiologist Rudolf Wagner (1805–1864). In 1907 he founded a seismological observatory at the physical institute in Graz, and during the same year was awarded with the Ignaz Lieben Prize for his work on the propagation of seismic waves.

  • Hans Benndorf (13 December 1870 – 11 February 1953) was an Austrian physicist born in Zurich, and died in Graz. He made several contributions in the field of seismology and in his research of atmospheric electricity. He was the son of archaeologist Otto Benndorf (1838–1907) and the grandson of physiologist Rudolf Wagner (1805–1864). In 1895 he earned his doctorate from the University of Vienna, and subsequently became an assistant to Franz Serafin Exner (1849–1926). In 1904 he became an associate professor of meteorology at the University of Graz. In 1910 he replaced Leopold Pfaundler (1839–1920) as professor of physics, a position he kept until 1936 (forced retirement). In 1945 he resumed his duties in physics at Graz. In 1927 he was elected as a full member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and from 1932 to 1934 was university rector. From 1924 he worked closely with geophysicistAlfred Wegener (1880–1930) at Graz, also maintaining professional ties with physicist Victor Franz Hess (1883–1964) and climatologist Victor Conrad (1876–1962) during his career. With Hess he co-authored a comprehensive treatise on atmospheric electricity (1928). In 1907 he founded a seismological observatory at the physical institute in Graz, and during the same year was awarded with the Ignaz Lieben Prize for his work on the propagation of seismic waves. In a mine-shaft at Pribram he was able to differentiate between long-distance earthquakes and local microseismic activity with the use of seismometers. Also, he was the first scientist to solve the problem involving refraction of seismic rays in spherical layers. The term Benndorfscher Satz (Benndorf's relationship) is used to describe the constancy of the ray parameter across the spherical layers. A device known as a "Benndorf electrometer" is used for atmospheric electrical measurements. (en)

  • Ханс Бенндорф (1870—1953) — австрийский физик, специализировался в сейсмологии и в исследовании атмосферного электричества. Действительный член Австрийской академии наук (с 1927 года), ректор Грацкого университета (1932—1934). Лауреат премии Игназа Либена за работу по распространению сейсмических волн(1907). Первым создал теорию преломления сейсмических лучей в сферических слоях. Термин Benndorfscher Satz (отношение Бенндорфа) в сейсмологии используется для описания постоянства в сферических слоях. Электрометр Бенндорфа используется для измерения атмосферных электрических параметров. Вывел теорему, применяемый в сейсморазведке и сейсмологии, и названную в 1910 году Эмилем Вихертом законом Бенндорфа. Она связывала угол выхода радиации сейсмической волны и её кажущуюся скорость. При помощи двух сейсмометров в шахте города Пришбрам смог различить колебания землетрясения и микросейсмическую активность . (ru)

År 1904 blev han extra ordinarie professor i meteorologi vid universitetet i Graz. År 1910 efterträdde han som ordinarie professor i fysik, en post han behöll till sin påtvingade pensionering 1936. År 1945 återupptog han sina plikter som professor i Graz. År 1927 valdes han till ledamot av vetenskapsakademien i Wien och åren 1932 till 1934 var han universitetets rektor. Från 1924 arbetade han nära geofysikern Alfred Wegener, samtidigt som han upprätthöll yrkesmässiga band till fysikern Victor Franz Hess och klimatologen livet igenom. Tillsammans med Hess publicerade han en studie om atmosfärisk elektricitet (1928). (sv)
