Abstract
We report on studies of the composition of ultra high energy cosmic rays with the Pierre Auger Observatory. The detection of longitudinal air shower profiles with the fluorescence detector is described and the measurement of the average shower maximum as a function of energy is presented. Furthermore, mass sensitive parameters that can be obtained from the observatory's surface detector data are discussed.
