Georges Deicha

Georges Deicha (1917 – 2011) was a French geologist and mineralogist, known for his pioneering work on fluid inclusions.

In the Laboratory of Applied Geology of Paris, Deicha developed various technical means for detecting, monitoring and analyzing inclusions such as crushing rock under a microscope.

In 1960, at the International Geological Congress in Copenhagen, Deicha founded, together with Edwin W. Roedder (US)[1] and Nikolai P. Ermakov (USSR), the Commission on Ore-Forming Fluids in Inclusions (COFFI).

[2] Deicha, besides his scientific work, was a sculptor, mainly using bas-relief technique.

Deicha created medals representing V. Agafonov, P. Milyukov, Leon Bertrand, Ami Boué, Louis Barrabe, Pierre Pruvost, and Raymond Furon.
