Auftritt) „The Moor has done his duty, the Moor can go” Fr. Schiller – The Conspiracy of Fiesco at Genoa, 1782 (Muley Hassan, Act 3, 4th perf.) IN MEMORIAM DR. SORIN-CORNELIU RĂDAN (1945-2018) On Sunday, November 11, 2018, our good and beloved colleague Sorin-Corneliu Rădan passed away. He was my younger brother. He IS my younger brother. He was, is, and will remain my best and closest collaborator. It is difficult to write an article in memoriam for somebody who was so close, not only through professional ties, but also through blood ties, and to remain unbiased. For me, it is hard to talk about him in the past. Our lives and careers have been intertwined. At a distance of nearly two years, we went through the same kindergarten, the same school and the same faculty. Here we have separated, I followed geology, he, a math enthusiast since high school, chose geophysics. We started working in two different research institutes, that are today unified under the Geological Institute of Romania. In 1995, I moved to GeoEcoMar, but as his lab was located in the GeoEcoMar building, our collaboration remained permanent. Over the last two years we have even shared the same office. Our scientific collaboration started in 1973; it comprises several common research projects and dozens of published papers, and is still continuing today, as more joint papers are waiting to be finished. These are the circumstances in which Sorin, my brother, my friend, my colleague, my collaborator, has departed.

  • Contribution to the Estimation of Seismic Hazard
    IN MEMORIAM DOREL ZUGRĂVESCU Corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy (November 25, 1930 – November 20, 2019) Gheorghe Dorel Zugrăvescu was born in a family of intellectuals (the father – a well-known lawyer in Pitești, the mother – a distinguished author of some appreciated poems). He graduated from “Alexandru Lahovary” high-school of Râmnicu-Vâlcea as a leader of his promotion, then he became a student in the Division for Geophysics of the Mining Institute – Bucharest, which he graduated with Merit Diploma. In 1954, as a student in the second year in the Mining Institute, Dorel Zugrăvescu was admitted as a junior researcher in the Geophysics Section of the Institute of Physics has the Romanian Academy in Măgurele. The scientific researcher carreer, as he has proven to be gifted, then materialized in the positions of scientific researcher (1955) and senior scientific researcher (1965), as well as organizing a Laboratory of Geodynamics within the frame of the Geophysical Research Center of the Romanian Academy, a laboratory he developed within the institutes that have housed geodynamic research during 1970–1990 (Institute for Applied Geophysics, Astronomical Institute, Centre for Earth Physics). In 1990 Dorel Zugrăvescu founded the Institute of Geodynamics under the umbrella of the Romanian Academy, on the opportunity of the revival of the Romanian Academy after the political regime change of December 1989. He was the Director of the Institute till his retirement in 2006 and Honorary Director since. He continued to lead the Laboratory ”Geodynamical Observatories” of the Institute, as well as various organisms he created within the frame of the Romanian Academy or in international cooperations.

On présente les contributions des personnalités de marque dans le domaine: Ştefan Hepites, Mathei M. Drăghiceanu, Gheorghe Demetrescu, Ion Atanasiu, Gheorghe Petrescu, Liviu Constantinescu, Ion Cornea, Cornelius Radu et d’autres. On mentionne des éléments liés au developpement des appareils utilisés, les résultats des études des tremblements de terre, de la séismicité dans la croûte et dans le manteau supérieur sur le territoire roumain, ainsi que les résultats des études de microzonation et de séismologie. Key words: seismicity, seismology, earthquake, seismic focus, active seismic area. Remarks on damages and human victims produced in Romania were mentioned in the medieval chronicles of the XVIIIth century of Grigore Ureche and Ion Neculce in Moldavia and Radu Popescu and Chesarie Daponte in Wallachia. Also, in Transylvania such observations appear in Ostermayer and Thomas Tartler chronicles from Braşov, or Hannes Hutter work from Mediaş, paper of Andreas Oltard and György Cserei of Aita Mare and the book of Jacob Schnitzler from Sibiu (Cernovodeanu, Binder, 1993).

The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) began anew after World War II with a new governance and membership structure. The technologies developed during the war were brought to bear in the extraordinary global scientific effort that was the International Geophysical Year (1957–1958). Major changes in the geopolitical landscape have brought about further changes in IUGG’s structure. International sci- entific campaigns encompassing multiple disciplines became commonplace, and international scientific bodies were organized and networked. During this time period (1940–1999), 15 general assemblies and 2 extraordinary general assemblies were held, each in a different international venue. Summaries of each general assembly are presented, as well as overviews of the changes in IUGG’s structure, finances, membership, and publications. The scientists, who led the Union and contributed to the development of the Union, are also presented. 1 Introduction 1983), Vancouver (Canada, 1987), Vienna (Austria, 1991), Boulder (USA, 1995), and Birmingham (UK, 1999).
