Springer Problems of Geocosmos–2020: Proceedings of the XIII International Conference and School (Springer Proceedings in Earth and Environmental Sciences)

Product Description This book addresses the problems of Geocosmos and provides a snapshot of the current research in a broad area of Earth Sciences carried out in Russia and elsewhere. The themes covered include solar physics, physics of magnetosphere, ionosphere and atmosphere, solar-terrestrial coupling links, seismology, geoelectricity, paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, as well as cross-disciplinary studies. The proceedings are carefully edited, providing a panoramic outlook of a broad area of Earth Sciences. The readership includes colleague researchers, students and early career scientists. The proceedings will help the readers to look at their research fields from various points of view. Problems of Geocosmos conferences are held by Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg University bi-annually since 1994. It is the largest forum of this kind in Russia/former Soviet Union attracting up to 200 researchers in Earth and magnetospheric physics.

About the Author Dr. Andrei Kosterov graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1992 (Diploma in Geophysics), Ph.D. (1997, Université Montpellier II). He held research positions at Geological Survey of Japan, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Universität Bremen, and University of Minnesota. Presently, he is Associate Professor at Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg State University. Research interests in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, particularly in magnetic properties of rocks at cryogenic temperatures. Dr. Evgeniya L. Lyskova graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1995 (M.Sc. in Geophysics), Ph.D. (1999, St. Petersburg State University). She is Visiting Researcher at University of Hamburg and Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics. Her research interests include surface wave tomography, ambient noise surface wave tomography, seismic anisotropy, wave propagation in complex media; earthquake quantification, physics of the earthquake source. Dr. Irina A. Mironova graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1997 (M.Sc. in Geophysics), Ph.D. (2005, Joint Doctorate, St.Petersburg State University and Potsdam University). Presently, she is Senior Research Scientist at Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg State University. She is specialist in solar-terrestrial physics with a keen interest in solar and space forcing on the Earth atmosphere, in energetic particle propagation and precipitation and their effects on polar atmosphere and Earth system as a whole. Dr. Nikita Bobrov graduated from Leningrad State University in 1990 (Diploma in Geophysics), Ph.D. (1998, St. Petersburg State University). Presently, he is Associate Professor at Geophysics Department, St. Petersburg State University.
