Abstract

Arturo Issel (1842–1922) introduced the regional Tyrrhenian stage of the late Pleistocene in 1914. This still stands within modern stratigraphic classification as an Italian Marine Stage for the Mediterranean Sea marking the base of the Late Pleistocene underlining the scientific importance of Issel's research within the geological sciences. This paper provides a short overview of the career and the wide-ranging interests of this Italian geologist and naturalistic traveller in order to provide a context to the knowledge and research experience behind his stratigraphic work. As university professor in Genovese society during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he played an important role in scientific instruction, exploration and research contributing to the popularization of science through museum collections and publications and in the application of such knowledge within public office both in Liguria and within Italy. He formed part of the Italian delegation at International Geological Congresses and held membership of the most outstanding geological societies and scientific academies of the time.

阿尔图罗-伊塞尔（1842-1922 年）：来自热那亚的人，他是古新世 "tyrrhenian stage "的幕后推手

阿图罗-伊瑟尔（1842-1922 年）于 1914 年提出了晚更新世的第勒尼安海地区阶段。在现代地层学分类中，它仍然是地中海的意大利海洋阶段，标志着晚更新世的基底，突出了伊瑟尔的研究在地质科学领域的重要科学意义。本文简要概述了这位意大利地质学家和自然旅行家的职业生涯和广泛兴趣，以提供其地层学工作背后的知识和研究经验的背景。十九世纪末二十世纪初，作为热那亚社会的大学教授，他在科学教学、勘探和研究方面发挥了重要作用，通过博物馆藏品和出版物促进了科学普及，并在利古里亚和意大利的公共机构中应用这些知识。他是意大利出席国际地质大会代表团的成员，也是当时最杰出的地质学会和科学院的成员。
