Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Ivan Jurkovic, Professor emeritus of the Geology of Ore Deposits at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb, died peacefully, in his home in Zagreb on Dec 30, 2014 at the age of 97. He was the leading mineral resource geologist in the countries of the former Yugoslavia where he pioneered both the use of ore microscopy in the study of ore deposits and the understanding of their genesis in the relation to the global tectonic paradigm. Professor Jurkovic was born on Mar 27, 1917 in Ogulin in Croatia. He graduated in 1939 but became interested in geology and continued his study at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Department of Geology). Professor Jurkovic had a broad knowledge across earth science as a whole. Accordingly, his scientific activity extended over mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology and metallic and nonmetallic ore deposits, but certainly his most important scientific work was in the field of ore deposits and metallogeny.
