Abstract

The article is dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the internationally renowned geophysicist Igor Ivanovich Rokityansky, who made a significant contribution to the study of the electrical conductivity of the Earth's crust and upper mantle. During his many years of work at the Institute of Geophysics of the NAS of Ukraine, he co-discovered the coastal effect, introduced the term "geoelectromagnetic investigations," and published a fundamental monograph with the prestigious Springer publishing house. In addition to classical geophysical methods, the scientist also explored alternative physical concepts, in particular Kozyrev's asymmetric mechanics, and devoted considerable attention to the training of highly qualified scientific personnel.
