THE ZUBER FAMILY SAGA
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 448, Issue 448
Abstract
The paper contains short biographies of three prominent Polish geologists, scientists, travellers and patriots of the Zuber family – Rudolf, Stanisław and Andrzej, father, son and grandson. Main occupation of Rudolf was exploration of oil deposits. His experience was of high value for many oil companies and countries that made their development dependent on the oil industry. On his scientific journeys he reached every inhabited part of the world, excluding Australia. In Krynica, he discovered a unique water that is among the strongest alkaline acidic waters in Europe. He is also the author of a fundamental publication, titled Flysh and crude oil which was an important and classical geological work of those times. His son, Stanislaw Zuber, started his professional career from participation in oil exploration in the Baku (Azerbaijan) and East Caucasus regions. His exploratory work in Albania resulted in the discovery of the main oil fields in this country – Kuçova–Lushnja, Murriz–Pekisht and Patos–Cakran–Selenica. He is presently regarded as the father of modern geology of Albania. Andrzej Zuber, son of Kazimierz, Stanislaw’s brother and grandson of Rudolf was also involved in several activities abroad (Kenya, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, India). His main interests were connected with investigations of the environmental logograms of the common, mineral and thermal waters. Among different hydrogeological problems, he put special attention to determination of the genesis and recharge areas of the Krynica mineral waters. It could be considered as the continuation of his grandfather’s work.
