Dan Giușcă (14 July 1904 – 10 August 1988) was a Romanian geologist and a member of the Romanian Academy.
In 1927, Giușcă received his PhD in chemistry from the University of Cluj, having his theses on the morphotropic effect of closing of spiranic cycles. [1] After finishing his degree, he was hired by Ludovic Mrazec at the Geologic Institute and at the University of Bucharest's Department of Mineralogy. [1] In 1929, Giușcă obtained a scholarship at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, after which he worked in Germany at the laboratories of Paul Niggli and Wilhelm Eitel. [1]
After returning to Romania in 1931, he taught at the University of Bucharest and conducted research at the Geologic Institute. At the age of 33, he became a lecturer (conferențiar) and at the age of 44, he became a professor. [1] Dan Giușcă was elected a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy in 1963 [2] and a titular member in 1974. [3] Throughout his career he published over 130 scientific articles and books. [4]
After returning to Bucharest, Giușcă began studying at the Institute of Geology magmatic and metamorphic rocks. [1] He studied the chemical structure of Nagyágite, [1] contact metamorphism at Băița Bihorului and discovered a new of deposit zeolites. [2] In the Hinghiș Mountains, he studied granitic rocks, while in the Vlădeasa Massif he studied volcanic phenomena and the associated hydrothermal metamorphism. [2] Giușcă studied the granitic rocks of the Pricopan Ridge in Northern Dobruja, arguing for a magmatic origin of the epidote. [2]
During the 1950s, Giușcă began studying a new field: neogene volcanism and old metamorphism in the Carpathians. His studies included the neogene vulcanites of the Gutâi Mountains. [2] He continued studying mesozoic magmatism through the study of banatites and ophiolites in the Apuseni Mountains. [2]
