#### **Grigory Ivanovich Dolgikh**

Grigory Ivanovich Dolgikh (born 1954) is a Russian specialist in the field of ocean physics and laser interferometry. He is an Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2016). He is Deputy Chairman of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (since 2008). Since December 2021, he has been the director of the Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor. He conducts scientific research in the field of studying the physics of the emergence, development, and transformation of geospheric processes in the "atmosphere-hydrosphere-lithosphere" system. He has conducted work on the experimental study of the regularities of generation, the dynamics of marine wave processes in the infrasonic range, and their transformation into seismoacoustic oscillations of the earth's crust at the "hydrosphere-lithosphere" boundary. He is also the creator of the theoretical and experimental foundations for the use of laser interference methods for studying the ocean.
