Autorenportrait

Elena Ivanova is a member of Russian Paleontological Society and of the American Geophysical Union and a Russian representative in IMAGES (The International Marine Core Study) Program. Her book is based on her Habilitation Thesis defended at Shirshov Institute of Oceanology in 2003.
