The Institute of the Cryosphere of the Earth in Tyumen; under Vladimir P. Mel'nikov,
corresponding member of the RAS.
[Mel'nikov (Melnikov), Vladimir P., D GM. S. Born in 1940. Geologist. Specialist
in geocriology, geophysical methods of researching the earth’s crust.
Corresponding member of the Oceanography, Atmospheric Physics and Geography
Department and of the Siberian Department since December 1987. He graduated
from Moscow Geological Prospecting Institute imeni Sergei Ordzhonikidze in
1962. He worked at there as an engineering student, a participant in geological
expeditions, a junior and senior researcher. From 1970 to 1984, he worked at the
Permafrost Institute in Yakutsk where he was a senior researcher and headed (from

1991, a new International Research Center for Northern Territories Development in
Siberia was established that links together the work of scientists of three Siberian
Department Institutes: the Institute of Cryoshpere of Earth in Tyumen, the Institute
of Physico-Engineering Problems of the North in Yakutsk, and the Institute of
Philology in Akademgorodok-Novosibirsk. As director of the Institute of
Cryosphere Earth, Mel’nikov will collaborate with the Directors of the other two
institutes in the development of this new international research center. (LDA 89-
