Abstract
We present a brief overview of the life and work of Academician Alexander Petrovich Karpinsky, one of the founders and a director of the Russian Geological Committee (1885–1903), the first elected President of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1917–1925), whose 175th anniversary is celebrated in 2022. A.P.Karpinsky was one of the most prominent personalities of his time, standing at the origins of the geological survey and science institutions in Russia. The principles and traditions of geological mapping laid by him are now developed by the successor of the Geological Committee — the Russian Geological Research Institute.
