Walter Hermann Bucher (March 12, 1888 February 17, 1965) was a German-American geologist and paleontologist. He was born in Akron, Ohio to Swiss-German parents. In 1911 he was awarded a Ph. By the University of Heidelberg with a focus on geology and paleontology. And joined the University of Cincinnati as a lecturer. By 1924 he was a professor of geology at the institution. His early works were on paleontology, and he performed studies of stromatolettia, oolites, and ripple-shaped markings. Later he concentrated on the Earth’s crust diastrophism problem and proposed firstly (immediate and independent[clarification needed] with Mikhail Tetyaev) the pulsation hypothesis of the Earth developing. In 1935 he became president of the Ohio Academy of Sciences. In 1940 he joined the Columbia University, specializing in structural geology. It is thought that at this time he worked as a consultant on the Manhattan Project, hypothesizing how the detonation of the atomic bomb could affect the Earth’s crust. In the same year he joined the National Research Council, as a consultant as chairman of the Division of Geology and Geography. In 1946 he was elected president of the New York Academy of Sciences, and from 1950 until 1953 he served as president of the American Geophysical Union. He was also president of the Geological Society of America (1955) and received their Penrose Medal in 1960.
