Adolf Pansch (2 March 1841, in Eutin – 14 August 1887) was a German anatomist and naturalist.
Since 1860 he studied medicine and natural sciences in Berlin and Heidelberg, and from 1862 to 1864 he studied medicine in Berlin and Halle. After graduation, he served as a prosector in the anatomical museum at the University of Kiel, where in 1866 he began work as a lecturer to the faculty of medicine.[1]
In 1869/70 he took part in the Second German North Polar Expedition, about which he published a few works involving the natural history of the Arctic. In 1874 he became an associate professor at the University of Kiel. He died at the age of 46 while on a sailboat excursion in Kieler Förde.[1][2]
His name is associated with "Pansch's flssure", being described as a cerebral fissure running from the lower extremity of the central fissure nearly to the end of the occipital lobe.[3]
