Geology of the Alps - a general view from the air (Public lecture)

We are delighted to invite you to a public lecture by Professor Kurt Stüwe, renowned geologist and author of the stunning visual book High Above the Alps: A Bird’s Eye View of Geology. This talk will take you on a captivating aerial journey across the Alpine chain—from Vienna to Nice—unveiling the geological secrets of one of the world’s most iconic and dynamic mountain ranges.

With more than 200 panoramic aerial images and 170 geological illustrations, Prof. Stüwe’s work offers a unique perspective on Alpine geology, blending science, storytelling, and sheer beauty. Many of these remarkable features are only visible from the sky—perched on summits, carved into vertical rock faces, or stretching far beyond the human eye’s ground-level view.

Whether you are a geologist, a mountain lover, or simply curious about the Earth beneath your feet, this lecture will inspire and inform.
