Szederkényi Tibor köszöntése a munkássága előtt tisztelgő Földtani Közlöny-kötet megjelenése alkalmából

Abstract

Dr. Tibor Szederkényi, a professor at the University of Szeged and later at the University of Pécs, celebrated his 90th birthday in September 2024. His detailed biography, published on the occasion of his 70th birthday (Kóbor & Pál-Molnár 2004), carefully details his vibrant career, which spans from assessing the rare element potential of South Transdanubia to leading mapping expeditions in New Zealand and Canada, as well as conducting in-depth petrological studies of the metamorphic basement of the Great Plain. The authors acknowledge his contributions with the articles in this volume. The professor is a distinguished representative of a generation that learned, observed, and taught the Earth as a complex interconnected entity, rather than a collection of disjointed sub-sciences covering increasingly smaller fields.
