Abstract
Aim of the paper has been generalizing of materials from literature and archives on engineering geology school in Odessa (Novorossiyskiy) University rise and development. Object of research is the history of studies in engineering geology, subject – the main milestones in rising of Odessa engineering geology school. History of Odessa engineering geology school rise has been considered. It has been shown that long before the recognition of engineering geology as a science, studies connected with geotechnical assessments of the area were performed by Odessa researchers and scientists of the Novorossiyskiy University (now – Odessa National I. I. Mechnikov University). One of the originators of engineering geology in the south of Ukraine was I. F. Sintsov, the prominent scientist of the Novorossiyskiy University. L. B. Rozovskiy, the first Head of Engineering Geology Chair, who established the first Basic Research Laboratory of coasts, reservoirs and hillsides in Ukraine, is by right considered to be the founder of Odessa engineering geology school. Elaboration of geological similarity theory and methodological basics of modeling and forecasting of geological processes, first of all of the most dangerous and widespread ones (abrasion of coasts, landslides, reservoir bank transformations) became strong input into engineering geology development. It has been widely acknowledged that the major contribution to elaboration of this problem was made by prominent scientists of Odessa engineering geology school professors L. B. Rozovskiy, I. P. Zelinskiy and V. M. Voskoboynikov. Nowadays researchers of Odessa engineering geology school continue development of theory and methodology of endogenic and exogenous geological processes forecasting.
