### **Eugene Morozov**

Eugene Morozov graduated in oceanography in 1970 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and then received his Ph.D. in 1975 and a doctoral degree in Physics and Mathematics in 1990. He is a field oceanographer and his career developed at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (Russian Academy of Sciences) in Moscow where he heads the Hydrological Processes Laboratory. His research focuses on mesoscale dynamics, internal waves, and circulation. He has been President (2011–2015) of the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean. Eugene Morozov started his marine activity in 1967 by participating in a coastal expedition on the Black Sea. His first oceanic expedition was in 1969 exploring the western boundary currents in the Atlantic. During his life at sea, Eugene conducted research on many large-scale currents in the World Ocean: the Gulf Stream, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the Kuroshio, the California Current, the equatorial subsurface undercurrents in the Indian and Atlantic oceans, and the Falkland Current. He also studied mesoscale eddies and rings of the jet currents. Morozov has also been an Arctic oceanographer. He has explored the Barents and Kara seas and fjords in Spitsbergen. Since 1969, Eugene has made 53 cruise voyages in the ocean; among them, 7 were in the Southern Ocean. Eugene has spent 10 years of his life at sea. His publications include more than 300 journal papers and 7 books.
