was created in 1960 to investigate problems associated with drilling for petroleum at
depths of over 4,000 meters.
Bogdanov, Nikita A., D. GM. S. Born in 1931. Corresponding member of the
Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining Sciences Department of the
Academy in 1993. Since 1982, he has been the Director of the Lithosphere Institute
in Moscow which was established in 1979 to study the theory of sedimentary and
metamorphic rock and ore formation.
Borukayev, Chermen B., D. Geol. S., Moscow State University graduate in 1958.
Corresponding member of the Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining
department of the AN SSSR and member of the Far Eastern department since
December 1987. Since 1988, he has been the Director of the tectonics and
Geophysics Institute in Khabarovsk. which was founded in 1971 and is
subordinate to the Far Eastern Department of the Academy. Its scientists study the
deep tectonics of the Earth's crust of the continent and Pacific ocean; determine the
relationship between the geophysical fields and structures of the Earth's crust;
develop estimates of mineral deposits from the study of tectonic and geophysical
relationships, and probe tectonic and geophysical theoretical problems. (LDA 89-
11378.)
Bronnikov, Dmitrii M. Born in 1913. Corresponding member of the Geology,
Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining Sciences Department of the Academy since
1979. Since 1981, he has been Director of the Complex Utilization of Mineral
Resources Institute in Moscow which was established in 1978 to research theories
of gas filtration and new methods for exploiting mineral resources. It is subordinate
to the academy's Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry department.
Bulanzhe, Iurii D., D. PM. S. Born in 1911 in Moscow. Soviet geophysicist.
Corresponding member of the Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining
Sciences Department of the Academy since 1966. Originally elected to the Physics
of the Earth department. He graduated from the Moscow Geodetic Institute in 1934
and started work at the Institute of Physics of the Earth of the AN SSSR, becoming
a department Head in 1956. Since 1956, he has been Chief of the Gravimetry and
Geomagnetism Laboratory of the O. Iurii Shmidt Earth Physics Institute in
Moscow. His works include experimental studies in gravimetrics and the study of
deformations in the earth's crust. He has been Vice President of the Soviet Geodetic
Society and of the International Association of Geodesy since 1957. (GSE 4, p.
169.)
Bulashevich, Iurii P. Born in 1911 in Nizhny Novgorod, now Gorkiy. Soviet
geophysicist. Corresponding member of the Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry,
and Mining Sciences Department of the Academy since 1970. He is also a member
of the Urals Scientific Center. He graduated from the University of Kazan in 1935
and started work at the Urals Department of the Academy. In 1958, he became the
Director of that department's Institute of Geophysics which since 1971 has been
called the Institute of Geophysics. In 1952, he became a professor at the
Sverdlovsk Pedagogical Institute and later professor at the Sverdlovsk Mining
Institute. His main works are in geophysical methods of studying the earth's crust
and the exploration and analysis of useful mineral deposits. (GSE, 30, p. 29.)
Geodekian, Artem A., D. GM. S. Born in 1914. Corresponding member of the
Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining Sciences Department of the
Academy since 1979. Since 1975, he has been Deputy Director of the P. P.
Shirshov Oceanology Institute in Moscow and since 1979, he has served as Chief
of the Geochemistry Division of the Oceanography Institute as well as Chief of the
Petroleum in the Sea Laboratory. The Shirshov Oceanology Institute is the largest
Russian research institute for the marine sciences. It was created in 1946, and is
subordinate to the academy's Oceanology, Atmospheric Physics, and Geography
department. It was named after Shirshov in 1967.
