Abstract

The pages of the life and scientific and educational activities of Petro Mykhailovych Bilonizhka, a well-known Ukrainian scientist, geologist, mineralogist and educator, candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences (PhD (Geology, Mineralogy)), associate professor of the Department of Mineralogy of the Lviv Ivan Franko National University, full member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, honorary member of the Ukrainian Mineralogical Society, popularizer of science, expert and propagandist of the national history of Ukraine, active public figure are highlighted. The scientific interests of the hero of the day cover a wide range of issues of geology and mineralogy, terminology in mineralogy and geochemistry, history of science, training of specialists in the field of Earth sciences, which are set out in about 400 printed scientific works: monographs, textbooks, reference and informational and literary and journalistic publications, articles in scientific professional publications of Ukraine and other countries, research projects, reports at International and All-Ukrainian conferences. As a teacher, he skillfully transferred the acquired pedagogical and methodological experience, teaching and developing programs and methodological guidelines in multidisciplinary disciplines. The results of thorough scientific explorations of Petro Bilonizhka became the basis for his election as a full member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and an honorary member of the Ukrainian Mineralogical Society, awarding him with medals, honorary diplomas, certificates and thanks. The creative partnership of the scientist and teacher with the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of Fuel Fossils of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, which became his first place of work, turned out to be fruitful; he is a co-author of monographs, articles, materials and abstracts of reports with the employees of the Institute, an official opponent of the candidate dissertations of numerous employees of our Institute. A long-time employee of the Geological Faculty, Petro Bilonizhka worthily went from a student to a teacher and a scientist, up to the well-deserved rest. Despite his advanced age, the veteran does not stop his creative work. From Dew and Water to You, dear Petro Mikhailovich, on Many and Blessed Summers in health and prosperity in peaceful unconquered Ukraine! Let him be lucky!

Abstract

The life and creative path of Professor Tadeusz Marek Peryt, an outstanding Polish scientist, long-time director of the State Geological Institute of Poland, Corresponding Member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, is briefly described. Doctor habilitated Tadeusz Perytʼs scientific interests cover a wide range of fundamental problems of sedimentology, lithology, geochemistry, bio- and lithostratigraphy, geodynamics of the Phanerozoic as the basis for the search and exploration of oil and gas deposits, copper, salts, gypsum, sulfur, and other minerals, which he has covered in over 300 scientific papers, mainly in the scientometric databases Web of Science and Scopus, with a total number of citations exceeding 5760. Professor Tadeusz Marek Peryt is well known for his active international scientific and organizational activities. He has done a lot for the development of Polish geological periodicals, public organizations and scientific societies. Among the numerous awards of the outstanding geologist and scientist are also state-level awards, in particular, the Order of Polonia Restituta. Professor Tadeusz Marek Peryt has made and continues to make significant efforts to develop scientific cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian geologists, as an organizer of Ukrainian-Polish projects, internships of Ukrainian scientists in Poland, preparation of joint publications, conferences. The scientistʼs creative partnership with the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of Combustible Minerals of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, primarily with the Department of Geochemistry of Sedimentary Strata of Oil and Gas Provinces, and his work as a member of the editorial board of the Instituteʼs scientific journal “Geology and Geochemistry of Combustible Minerals” turned out to be especially fruitful. A great friend of Ukraine, the hero of the day unconditionally supported our state in the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion and continues to contribute to the stabilization of Polish-Ukrainian scientific contacts, which were complicated by the Russian-Ukrainian war, and we express our sincere gratitude to him for his words and the effectiveness of his support. “Many and Blessed Years!” “A hundred years, a hundred years, let him live, live for us. A hundred years, a hundred years, let him live, live for us. Once again, once again let him live, live for us. Let him live for us!”
