Yelena Aleksandrovna Lyubimova (Russian: Елена Александровна Любимова; 1925–22 April 1985) was a Soviet geologist known for her geothermal research and as one of the first women geophysicists from the Soviet Union to conduct research in the Atlantic Ocean.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Lyubimova was born in Moscow in 1925. She attended Moscow State University, where she studied physics under Andrey Nikolayevich Tikhonov and Otto Schmidt.[1] She earned her degrees in 1955 and 1966.
Career and research
[edit]Lyubimova's entire career was spent at the Geophysical Institute, now the Institute of Earth Physics.[2] Her research included studies of heat exchange in the Earth's interior, the evolution of the Earth and Moon, subduction and spreading zones in the Kola trench, heat flow along continents and oceans in the Arctic, heat flow anomalies, and electroconductivity. She was a founder of the International Committee for Heat Flow and coordinated a major project to map heat flow in the lithosphere.[1]
Death
[edit]Lyubimova died in 1985.[2]
Honors and awards
