Jörn Koblitz

Jörn Koblitz is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Jörn Koblitz rather than just read about it. In short: Jörn Koblitz (born 1961) is publisher of MetBase - the Meteorite Information Database and Bibliography of Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences and curator of the MetBase Library Archived 2009-12-21 at the Wayback Machine of Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences, located in Bremen, Germany. He is also a co-founder and managing director of microFAB Bremen GmbH, a silicon wafer foundry active in the field of MEMS.

Key takeaways

Jörn Koblitz belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Jörn Koblitz to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Jörn Koblitz from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Jörn Koblitz (born 1961) is publisher of MetBase - the Meteorite Information Database and Bibliography of Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences and curator of the MetBase Library Archived 2009-12-21 at the Wayback Machine of Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences, located in Bremen, Germany. He is also a co-founder and managing director of microFAB Bremen GmbH, a silicon wafer foundry active in the field of MEMS. As a member of the Meteoritical Society since 1983, he served on the Society's Nomenclature Committee from 1997 to 2003. Joern received the first Meteoritical Society's Service Award in 2006.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jörn Koblitz

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jörn Koblitz claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jörn Koblitz before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jörn Koblitz ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jörn Koblitz

In research: Jörn Koblitz appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jörn Koblitz in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jörn Koblitz is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1961 births, German curators, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jörn Koblitz outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
