 Michael
V. Mints, D.Sc.
Head of Laboratory of the Early Precambrian
tectonics.
Geological Institute of the Russian Academy of Science.
My
major area
of active research is the study of
the Early Precambrian: problems of Early Precambrian plate tectonic
evolution, the significance and geodynamic settings of high-grade
metamorphism, granite origin, relationships of granite and granulite
complexes. My field of interests and occupation includes also
deep structure of the crust: geological interpretation of geophysical
data and 3-dimensional modeling, deep crustal structure.
This
time I am especially interested in:
Early Precambrian tectonics, geodynamics
and metallogeny; thermal structure of the granulite crustal
sections and geodynamic settings of granulite metamorphism,
deep crustal structure of the Early Precambrian cratons.
Education:
Moscow State University, geologist-geochemist,
1961.
Candidate of Sciences - PhD., Geology-Mineralogy, Moscow State
University, 1972.
Doctor of Sciences - D.Sc., Geology-Mineralogy, Geological Institute
of Russian Ac. Sci., Moscow, 1993.
1961
to 1985 - geological expeditions of the Ministry of Geology
of the FSU.
I headed geological parties (divisions)
compiling 1:50'000 - 1:200'000 maps of different
regions of the former USSR scales such as Central Kazakstan,
the Aldanian Shield, the Northeastern Asia paleovolcanic belt,
the Kola Peninsula.
