Vladimir Stepanovich Sobolev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vladimir Stepanovich Sobolev ( Russian Владимир Степанович Соболев * 17 . Jul / the thirtieth May  1908 greg. In Lugansk , Russian Empire ; † 1. September 1982 in Moscow , Soviet Union ) was a Russian mineralogist and geologist Petrologe.

Life

Sobolev graduated from the Mining Institute in Leningrad in 1930. In the 1930s he studied the petrology of the Siberian Trapp Formations as a member of the Central Geological Institute. During this time he was also in the Petrology Department of the Leningrad State University . During this time he made predictions for primary diamond deposits ( kimberlite vents ) in Siberia, which he deduced from structural geological similarities of the Siberian craton with South Africa. This was followed by a targeted and, in the end (fifteen years later) very successful search, which was carried out at great expense, even in areas in which no finds had been made before, but which were geologically promising. From 1941 to 1943 he was a consultant for the geological service in Siberia and at the University of Irkutsk . From 1945 he was at the State University of Lviv . In 1958 he went to the Siberian Department of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and was one of the founders of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics in Novosibirsk , of which he was the deputy director. 1960 to 1980 he was also professor and head of the Institute of Mineralogy and Petrology at the Novosibirsk State University and there from 1962 to 1971 Dean of Geosciences.

Sobolew then dealt in particular with metamorphic rocks . He worked both theoretically and experimentally in mineralogy and petrology.

Honors and memberships

He was a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was President of the International Mineralogical Association from 1974 to 1978 . In 1978 he became an honorary member of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland and he was an honorary member of the Austrian Mineralogical Society and the mineralogical societies in France, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Ireland and the Soviet Union. He received the Lenin and Stalin prizes .

A new mineral described by Alexander Petrovich Chomyakov , TA Kurowa and NI Tschistjakowa in 1983 was named Sobolevit in his honor .

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ In 1955 the Soviet geologists Juri Chabardin, Jekaterina Jelagina and Viktor Avdejenko discovered the Mir diamond deposit in Eastern Siberia, which was mined in open-cast mining until 2004 and was the largest diamond mine in the Soviet Union, with an annual production of 2 t in the 1960s. They previously found fragments of kimberlite, which they traced to the source. Chabardin received the Lenin Prize for this in 1957.
