Dear friends and colleagues,
we are sad to inform you that Lauro Morten (University of Bologna) passed
away last Saturday. Many of you may know Lauro for his petrological work on
the Ulten Zone peridotites. He was diagnosed with a lung cancer more than
three years ago, but he never gave up working (he spent his final days
planning the future work with his postdocs) and fighting to live … “I’m
surviving!” was his favourite answer to those who wanted to know about his
health conditions.
We have lost a brilliant petrologist and a nice person.
Sincerely
Roberto Braga
Marta Marocchi
Giovanna Sapienza
