In memory of Vladimir Ivanovich Bauman (1867 - 1923)
Abstract
Bauman's work began at a time when the mining industry, having developed in our country, posed a number of new and complex challenges for mine surveyors. He fundamentally reorganized the practice of mine surveying in the state, and his activity should be regarded as a distinct era in the development of that specialty in which he worked. Our country also owes to V. I. Bauman the introduction of the first geophysical exploration method—magnetometry. Bauman's merit lies in the fact that he gave us this method as a technical, practical tool. Vladimir Ivanovich fundamentally reorganized the teaching of mine surveying and geodesy. He was the first professor in Russia to hold an independent chair in mine surveying. On his initiative, a mine surveying division was opened at our Institute within the Geological Exploration Faculty.
