Klemun, Marianne (Author)
Earth sciences were particularly successful both locally and internationally in nineteenth-century Vienna and the Habsburg Empire in general, which can be attributed to new institutions: the association Friends of the Natural Sciences (since 1845) and the Imperial Geological Survey that was founded in Vienna in 1849. Their esteemed reputation was based on the extraordinarily high quality of their output, resulting from the geological examination of the terrain of the entire monarchy. However, historical scholarship has so far ignored that the extremely effective communication structure also played a significant role in this success story. There was indeed a group of dominant researchers who cooperated and coordinated the field of earth science, making geology visible among science in new ways. This paper focuses on a new perspective on communication on several levels, in particular highlighting the personal contact through channels of different institutions, political elites, administrational networks, society and culture in the metropolis Vienna.
