Arnold Escher von der Linth (8 June 1807 in Zürich{{snd}}12 July 1872) was a Swiss geologist, the son of Hans Conrad Escher von der Linth (1767-1823). He made the first ascent of the Lauteraarhorn on 8 August 1842 together with Pierre Jean Édouard Desor and Christian Girard, and guides Melchior Bannholzer and Jakob Leuthold.[1] He studied geology and other sciences in Geneva, where one of his teachers was Nicolas Theodore de Saussure, and in Berlin as a student of Leopold von Buch and Alexander von Humboldt. In 1856 he became professor of geology at the École Polytechnique in Zürich and established the Geological Institute there.[2] His researches led him to be regarded as one of the founders of Swiss geology.[3] With Bernhard Studer, he was the first to systematically explore the geology of the Swiss Alps and its neighboring regions (eastern Switzerland, Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Piedmont and Lombardy).[2] Also with Studer, he produced a highly acclaimed geological map of Switzerland (1853).[4] In particular, his scientific liaison with the Scottish geologist Roderick Murchison (1792-1871) made him a contributor to the discovery of the Silurian system, and the first systematic description of sedimentary rocks and their index fossils.[5] He was the author of Geologische Bemerkungen über das nordliche Vorarlberg und einige angrenzenden Gegenden (Geological observations on the northern Vorarlberg and some adjacent areas), published at Zürich in 1853.[3][4] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=tzA6AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA105&lpg=PA105&dq=Escher+Lauteraarhorn&source=bl&ots=RBQBpq3x_-&sig=iiJq3TyzpCtewkbOVGr9fEjpUeI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ehhDVdyLN5etoQSAy4GICA&ved=0CDYQ6AEwBTgK#v=onepage&q=Escher%20Lauteraarhorn&f=false The Alpine Journal, Volume 17] by Sir Leslie Stephen, Douglas William Freshfield, Sir William Martin Conway, Arthur John Butler, George Yeld {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Escher von der Linth, Arnold}}2. ^1 Dictionnaire historique de la Suisse (biography) 3. ^1 {{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Escher von der Linth, Arnold|volume=9|page=765}} 4. ^1 [https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/ADB:Escher,_Arnold ADB:Escher, Arnold] at Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie 5. ^Roderick Impey Murchison (1792-1871) an Arnold Escher von der Linth (1807-1872) (in French) e-manuscripta.
