Abstracts
The 19th century saw the birth of a new scientific discipline: geophysics. Polish scholars played a pivotal role in its creation, with pioneering contributions coming particularly from scientists working in Kraków. Owing to the ambitions of the Jagiellonian University and its understanding of the newest scientific trends and needs, research-friendly conditions were created for two academics of a global caliber: L.A. Birkenmajer and M.P. Rudzki. In 1895 the first academic department in the world devoted solely to geophysics was estabilished at the University. Its creation signaled the birth of geophysics as an independent scientific discipline. Textbooks written by Rudzki, particularly the outstanding "Physics of the Earth", played a key role in fostering the development of several generations of both Polish and German scientists.
