Abstract

The life path and creative achievements of the famous Ukrainian scientist in the field of mineralogy and thermobarogeochemistry, a well-known specialist and authoritative researcher of natural mineral formation processes, Zenon Ivanovych Kovalyshyn (28.02.1936–23.07.2006), Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Senior Researcher of the Department of Geochemistry of Deep Fluids and Director of the Research Enterprise of the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of Combustible Minerals of the NAS of Ukraine, were discussed. The wide range of his research explorations covered mineral deposits of various genetic types in various regions of Ukraine (Ukrainian Shield, Transcarpathia, Dnieper-Donetsk Depression) and the former Soviet Union. The scientist’s precise studies of the composition of volatile components of fluid inclusions in minerals became the basis for elucidating the geochemical and thermobaric features of the processes of endogenous mineralogenesis, a significant contribution to thermobarogeochemistry – the fundamental science of inclusions in minerals. Zenon Kovalyshyn’s creative output includes about 120 scientific works, in particular three monograph. He is the author and co-author of more than 20 research and scientific and production reports, three new methods of prospecting and evaluation of mineral raw materials. The scientist gained well-deserved authority and recognition of the geological community of Ukraine, near and far abroad, worthily represented Ukrainian science at international, all-Union and domestic forums, generously shared his scientific achievements and ideas with young scientists, graduate students, and assisted in choosing the direction of research, interpretation and publication of results. A long-time employee of the Institute – a permanent place of work – Zenon Kovalyshyn worthily went from engineer to senior research associate, candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences, and unexpectedly and prematurely passed away on July 23, 2006. The Yaniv cemetery became the place of his eternal rest. We will preserve the bright memory of the famous scientist, an extraordinary personality, a sincere and sensitive person forever!

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!”
