Surkov, Viktor S., D. GM. S. Born in 1926. Geologist. Geophysicist. Specialist in
regional geology and geophysics. Corresponding member since 1979, and
academician since December 1987--of the Geology, Geophysics Geochemistry, and
Mining Sciences Department of the Academy. He graduated from the Kazan State
University imeni V. I. Ul’ianov-Lenin in 1950. From 1950 to 1962, he worked in
the Siberia-physics Ministry of Geology of the USSR. , and was the head engineer
on several scientific expeditions. In 1962, he joined the Siberian Scientific Research
Institute of Geology, Geophysics and Mineral Raw Materials subordinate to the
Geology Ministry of the SSSR, becoming Deputy Director in 1971, and Director in
1973. The institute researches petroleum and gas deposits in the Krasnoyarsk
region. It is under the Ministry of Geology. He became General Director of
“Sibgeo” (NPO) in 1987. He is the scientific curator for the Geology Ministry of
Russia for the regional geological and geophysical collections of Siberian and the
Far East. He heads the section on regional geophysics of the national council for
geophysical research. He holds several medals awarded for his scientific
accomplishments. He is director of the Siberian Scientific Research Institute of
Geology, Geophysics, and Mineral Raw Materials (SSRIGGMM) which is under
the Committee on Geology and Mineral Resources under the Russian Government.
The Institute is located in Novosibirsk.
There is a newly established National Geophysical Committee of the Russian
Federation which works with the International Union of Geodesy and
Geophysics which coordinates the work of the geophysical Center of the Russian
Academy of Sciences with other world organizations. A center for geophysical
computer data studies, jointly between the Schimidt Institute of Physics of the Earth
and the RAS includes a Laboratory of artificial intelligence in geophysics. The
artificial intelligence group includes: Professor Aleksei Ovishiani, Head of the
center itself; Dr. Mikhail Zhizhin as senior researcher; and Aleksandr Mikoyan,
researcher. This group has cooperated with other centers in Europe and elsewhere
to develop a World Data Center. In the Laboratory of geoinformation systems and
technologies under Dr. Andrei Eliutin, GIS techniques for seismic hazard data
processing in collaboration with French laboratories is being developed. The center
also has a Laboratory of computer telecommunications, and a Laboratory of
informational support of geophysical studies.
