Aykut Barka
(1952-2002)
Tragically, Aykut died on 1 February 2002 from injuries suffered
in a car accident five weeks earlier. He was 50 years old
and leaves a wife and two young children. His death is a great
loss to his family, his nation, and to earth science. Below
is a eulogy written by Ross Stein on the day of his death,
and several photographs taken at a memorial dinner in his
honor of his S.F. Bay area friends on 20 February 2002.
