research center that combined the work of scientists in two major institutes: the
Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation Institute in Irkutsk
and the Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy in Yakutsk in the
establishment of this new international thrust. As Director of the Siberian Institute of
Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation, Dr. Zherebetsov
will play a large role in the development of this new international research center. He
is also the Chairman of the Irkutsk Scientific Center which was established in 1992
