Areas of Expertise:
Anatoly is an Electronic Engineer and has worked with various types of geophysical equipment (Ocean Bottom Seismographs (OBS), radar sounders, gravity meters, magnetometers, etc.). His current work includes not only equipment development, upgrading, testing, repairing etc., but also data acquisition and technical support during field work.
He participated in more than ten UTIG scientific projects. He has experience in setting up geophysical equipment onboard five different types of aircraft. Overall, he went to more than 20 field trips around the globe with the total combined length of survey lines exceeding circumference of the equator more than 10 times (nine Antarctic expeditions, seismic refraction surveys in the Arctic, Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Africa, and several airborne geophysical expeditions in the Russian Arctic and Central Asia).
