Hans Eduard Suess (December

16, 1909 – September 20, 1993) was an Austrian born American physical chemist and nuclear physicist. He was a grandson of the Austrian

geologist Eduard Suess. Suess earned

his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Vienna in

1935 under the supervision of Philipp Gross. During World War II, he was part of a team of German scientists studying nuclear power and was advisor to the production of heavy water in a Norwegian plant (see Operation Gunnerside). After

the war, he collaborated on the shell model of

the atomic nucleus with

future (1963) Nobel Prize winner Hans Jensen. In

1950, Suess emigrated to the United States. He did research in the field of cosmochemistry, investigating the abundance of

certain elements in meteorites with Harold Urey (Nobel Prize in Chemistry,

1934) at the University of Chicago. In

1955, Suess was recruited for the faculty of Scripps

Institution of Oceanography, and in 1958 he became one of the four

founding faculty members of the University

of California, San Diego. He remained at UCSD as Professor until

1977 and as Emeritus Professor thereafter. He established a laboratory at where he trained students

including Ellen R.M. Druffel,[4] now the Fred Kavli Professor of

Earth System Science at University of California,

Irvine. Suess's

most recent research was focused on the distribution of carbon-14 and tritium in the oceans and atmosphere. On basis of radiocarbon analyses of annual growth-rings of trees he

contributed to

and

dioxide from fossil fuels burned since the industrial revolution. This dilution

is known as the Suess effect (see

articles about the anthropogenic greenhouse effect).

The mineral suessite, a Fe, Ni-silicide in Enstatit-Chondrites, is named after him.
