It was my true privilege and pleasure to have been Leon’s student. His mentorship and level of excellence in the sciences is widely known and continues to inspire and push me in my current work. Indeed science was in his blood as he and I worked on a paper together up to the very end. But I am most thankful for his example in life. He was humble and truly cared for the well being of other people. This struck me then and continues to train me. He shared his wonderful family with me and for...

Leon Knopoff was an inspiration to many, following many paths in life, from whole-earth geophysics to music and beyond, even to exploration geophysics. We will all miss him

This is sad news for all of us but especially for me. I had only opportunity to meet him once in October 1998 at Institute of geophysics State Seismological Bureau, Beijing for a seismological training. Before that I was only using his references in our research papers and thinking that how thoughtful person he was?. Now he is not before us but he will be always in our mind when we take pen and paper to write something for science. I never forget his lecture style and expressions. I wish to...
