Vladimir Alexandrovich Magnitsky
Vladimir Alexandrovich Magnitsky ( Russian Владимир Александрович Магницкий * May the thirtieth . Jul / 12. June 1915 greg. In Penza ; † 16th October 2005 in Moscow ) was a Russian surveyor and geophysicist .
After graduating from the Moscow Institute of Geodesy, Aerophotogrammetry and Cartography (MIIGAiK) in 1940 , he began teaching there himself. He later moved to Lomonosov University , where he headed the department of geophysics. Since 1979 he was a member of the Academy of Sciences . In the West, Vladimir Magnitsky was best known for the German translation of the textbook Theory of the Figure of the Earth , which was published in Moscow in 1961 and in 1964 by VEB Verlag für Bauwesen (East Berlin). In this book (co-authors Vsevolod Wladimirowitsch Browar and Boris Pawlowitsch Schimbirew ) he wrote the chapters on gravimetry , the earth's external gravitational field and potential theory . Together with WW Browar he was one of the first geodesists to research the influence of geological density anomalies on the gravitational field and geoid determination .
Of Magnizki's other publications, only two are mentioned:
- 1948: About the reductions in gravity (Russian, Tridwi Z. Volume 1948/51)
- 1950: The basic questions of the geological application of gravimetric and geophysical data (Russian, Tridwi Z., Geodesizdat, Volume 8).
