Roman Teisseyre: In Memoriam

Abstract

Professor Roman Teisseyre, the outstanding modern geophysicist, was one of the most important and influential persons in the whole history of the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. His death ended the era of the founders and managers of the Institute who shaped, from its very beginning, the basic scientific profile of our place. Also, the friendly and pleasant atmosphere among the people working there, as initiated by him and the whole group of Institute’s founders, was prevalent over the years. He had many, many friends who quickly responded to our appeal to contribute to the present book In Memoriam.
