ARKADY PILCHIN

Despite difficulties, Dr. Pilchin continued to be passionate about his field of study and remained dedicated to his work for the rest of his life. In 1995, he founded Universal Geoscience & Environmental Consulting Company (UGECC) in Toronto, to represent his research, and from then on the results of his work were presented for publication in books, journals, and conferences under UGECC. He made no money working in Geoscience, the reward for him was always to drive our understanding in the right direction. He would continue working on scientific research in his spare time on his own for as long as he could, and with over 130 publications he humbly made a great contribution to the Geoscientific community.
