In 1883 he received his doctorate from the University of Vienna, where his instructors included Eduard Suess and Melchior Neumayr. In 1893 he changed his venia legendi from geography to geology, a subject that he became an associate professor of in 1897. In 1906 he was named a full professor of paleontology at the University of Vienna.[1]
With Viktor Uhlig, Rudolf Hoernes and Eduard Suess, he was co-author of the four-part Bau und bild Österreichs (1903), of which Diener wrote Part 2: Bau und bild der Ostalpen und des Karstgebietes (Construction and image of the eastern Alps and the karst areas).[4] He also made major contributions to the paleontological bibliography, Fossilium Catalogus (1913 –).[5] Diener's other noteworthy written efforts include:
Libanon. Grundlinien der physischen geographie und geologie von Mittel-Syrien, 1886 – Lebanon: Outlines of physical geography and geology of central Syria.
Der Gebirgsbau der Westalpen, 1891 – The mountain structure of the western Alps.
