Salvatore Lorenc Bushati
is born in Albania in 1950. After
the completion of the Elementary School, he followed the General Secondary School and the Polytechnic Secondary School
(branch of Electronics). After following some courses in
different fields, he was admitted in Tirana University and
in 1975 was graduated as Geophysical Engineer. In 1974 he began to
work at Geophysical Enterprise as operator and after that
as geophysical engineer. In 1975 he began his first studies
applying for the first time geophysical methods in searching
the chromium mineral. A scientific and applied intensive
work was concluded successfully with important results of
scientific and economical value. Very important data were
gained through the usage of geophysical methods, which orientated
detailed geological studies as well as that of search-explorations
and explorations until the opening of the mines. Some of
these are now the major objects for the exploitation of
the chromium mineral in Albania Since 1977, he was appointed
as assistant lecturer in the Department of Geophysics of
the Faculty of Geology & Mining of Tirana, Albania.
In 1980 he created a new department, Department of Geophysical-Geochemical
and Environmental Studies in Center of Geophysical &
Geochemical Exploration (CGGE).
He is author of first
Gravity Map and Magnetic Map at scale 1:200 000 of Albania,
Gravity and Magnetic Network of Albania. He is membership
of a lot of national and international GO-s and NGO-s. Currently,
he is the Director of CGGE (Center of Geophysical &Geochemical
Exploration) in Tirana, which covers a wide activity in
the field of minerals, in different geoenvironmental and
health studies, in civil engineering and in many important
branches of economy.

geophysics and geodynamics of the Romanian territory. He received
the Romanian Academy Award (1991) for his paper published in its
scientific journal. He is member of Romanian Society of
Geophysics Council. He is member of the Romanian
National Committee for Geodesy and Geophysics Council. He is
member of AGU, SEG and IAVCEI (IUGG).
