HISTORY AND MAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND MINERALOGY

The history of the Department of Geochemistry and Mineralogy dates back to 1924. Professor A.S. At the initiative of Uklonsky was formed in 1927 as a separate department of mineralogy and until 1974 was the head of the department. The department of "Petrography" was founded in 1952 and until 1983 was headed by EM Isamukhamedov.

The founders of the Department of Mineralogy were academician AS Uklonsky, a graduate of Moscow State University in 1920, and the Department of Petrography and Lithology in 1942. V.I.Popov, I.Kh.Khamrabaev, T.N.Dalimov were awarded academic titles in the field of mineralogy, geochemistry, petrography, more than 10 doctoral dissertations were defended (R.I. .Koneev, A.A.Koldaev, A.A.Kustarnikova, LNLordkipanidze H.D.Ishbaev, R.T.Dalimov, R.A.Khalmatov, etc.), about 100 - candidate's dissertations were defended . Most of the graduates are working as leading specialists in production. Graduates of the department worked at the university as rectors (academician TN Dalimov), vice-rector, dean (H.D. Ishbaev, EE Igamberdiev, AZ Umarov).

For the last 30 years The department was headed by T.N.Dalimov, H.D.Ishbaev, R.I.Koneev, O.Kushmurodov, A.Z.Umarov, K.K.Khoshjanvova.

 In accordance with modern requirements, the departments are now merged and renamed the Department of Geochemistry and Mineralogy.
