We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Konrad Czapiewski. It is hard to find appropriate words to express our sorrow. We had the pleasure to work with Konrad in the REPAiR project and on several other occasions over many years. During those collaborations, we got to know him as an excellent scientist and a lovely colleague. He was an outstanding geographer and an avid traveller, sharing his passion for exploring the world. We were always very impressed by how he was always ready to support others.

We want to express our deepest condolences to Konrad’s family, to his colleagues and the institute. We will keep Konrad in our memories.
