William Randall Van Schmus, Ph.D., University of Kansas. Professor visitante orientando a implantação do método Sm-Nd no LAGIR em 2005
Homenageamos a pesquisadora Profa. Dra. Diana Ragakty (In Memoriam; FGEL-UERJ), cuja dedicação e generosidade contribuíram significativamente para a ciência e para o fortalecimento do LAGIR. Sua ausência deixa um profundo vazio, mas seu legado permanece inspirando as futuras gerações de pesquisadores.
Nuno Machado, Ph.D., (In Memoriam), GEOTOP-UQAM, Montréal. Professor visitante. Idealizador e o maior incentivador da criação do LAGIR. Ajudou a conceber desde a sua disposição arquitetônica até a configuração do Espectrômetro de Massas (Foto: Sébastien Lavoie, http://www.uqac.ca/redist/colloques/2001/photocoloq2001.html#machado).
