Bernhard Studer HFRSE (21 August 1794 – 2 May 1887), was a Swiss geologist who published a two-volume Geologie der Schweiz (Geology of Switzerland, 1851,1853) that helped subsequent geologists like Eduard Suess despite the fact that he suggested the formation of the alps by the now obsolete primary uplift theory.
