Abstract
Robert D. Liska passed away on January 24, 2021. He died peacefully at home in the presence of his much-loved wife of 64 years. Born in 1931, Bob earned his MSc in Geology at San Diego State University. In 1963 Bob joined Texaco in Long Beach, California as a geologist. Two years later he joined Texaco International in Colombia, and in 1973 moved to Trinidad. Bob had a long association with Micropaleontology Press, and published several papers in Micropaleontology and in the Journal of Foraminiferal Research in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Bob leaves behind the legacy of his lifelong passion for micropaleontology and stratigraphy: his extensive and unique microfossil collection which will be housed at University College London, and his equipment which was donated to Texas A&M.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Micropalaeontology (JM) is an established international journal covering all aspects of microfossils and their application to both applied studies and basic research. In particular we welcome submissions relating to microfossils and their application to palaeoceanography, palaeoclimatology, palaeobiology, evolution, taxonomy, environmental change and molecular phylogeny. Owned by The Micropalaeontological Society, the scope of the journal is broad, demonstrating the application of microfossils to solving broad geoscience issues.
