(Obituary Professor Emeritus Ivan Jurković)

Sažetak
Ivan Jurković, 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 30 December 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. He devoted a great part of his time to the community, working tirelessly to develop many projects which promote the public good, education and science, holding a number of important political functions in the Croatian Parliament and government and serving, among others, as rector of the University of Zagreb. With his death, geological science in Croatia lost one of its most outstanding scientists.
