A. Ya. Pehrna (Obituary)
Abstract
Alexander Yakovlevich Perna (1878 - 1916) was born into a family of the Estonian intellectuals. A. Ya. Pehrna received his secondary education at the 7th Petrograd Gymnasium. Upon completion of the gymnasium, he entered Petrograd University in the Natural Sciences Division of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, from which he graduated in 1902 with a first-degree diploma. He then entered the Mining Institute, from which he graduated first in his class in 1910. While still a student, he participated in detailed geological studies on the eastern slope of the Southern Urals. This work provided him with material for several geological and paleontological articles on the Upper Devonian and Lower Carboniferous deposits of the Urals (see the list of works in the article).
