Pyotr Nikolayevich Kropotkin ( Russian Пётр Николаевич Кропоткин ; born November 11 . Jul / 24. November  1910 greg. In Moscow ; † 17th January 1996 ) was a Russian geologist and geophysicist .

Life

Kropotkin came from the old royal family Kropotkin. His grandfather was the mathematician Alexander Alexejewitsch Kropotkin and his great-uncle the geographer and anarchist Pyotr Alexejewitsch Kropotkin . Kropotkin studied at the Moscow Institute of Geology and Prospecting with a degree in 1932. Since 1929 he had been conducting prospecting in the Urals . From 1936 he worked in the Geological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) in Moscow, founded in 1930 . From 1959 Kropotkin headed the Laboratory for Tectonics and Geophysics of the Geological Institute of the AN-SSSR.

Kropotkin's main focus was on problems of geology, geophysics , petrology and cosmology . His regional studies of tectonics and metallogenesis in Siberia , the Far East and Kazakhstan were particularly important . He was one of the first to use paleomagnetic data for global paleogeographic reconstructions. Using the example of various regions of the world , he demonstrated the continental drift over thousands of kilometers. Through his investigations he was one of the founders of the theory of plate tectonics . He examined the Abyssal - distortions with regard to the gassing of the earth and developed it - like Thomas Gold - a theory of inorganic origin of petroleum and natural gas , whose critical review recognized Although the scientific basis of the theory, but the conclusions rejected.

Kropotkin was a doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences . In 1966 he became a corresponding member of the AN-SSSR and in 1992 a real member. He participated in many international conferences and symposia. In 1978 he was elected Vice President of the Moscow Society of Naturalists .

Kropotkin's son Alexei Petrovich Kropotkin was a doctor of physical and mathematical science specializing in the physics of the magnetosphere and cosmic plasma .
