Dr. Andrei Kosterov graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1992 (Diploma in Geophysics), Ph.D. (1997, Université Montpellier II). He held research positions at Geological Survey of Japan, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Universität Bremen, and University of Minnesota. Presently, he is Associate Professor at Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg State University. Research interests in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, particularly in magnetic properties of rocks at cryogenic temperatures.

Dr. Evgeniya L. Lyskova graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1995 (M.Sc. in Geophysics), Ph.D. (1999, St. Petersburg State University). She is Visiting Researcher at University of Hamburg and Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics. Her research interests include surface wave tomography, ambient noise surface wave tomography, seismic anisotropy, wave propagation in complex media; earthquake quantification, physics of the earthquake source.

Dr.Irina A. Mironova graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 1997 (M.Sc. in Geophysics), Ph.D. (2005, Joint Doctorate, St.Petersburg State University and Potsdam University). Presently, she is Senior Research Scientist at Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg State University. She is specialist in solar-terrestrial physics with a keen interest in solar and space forcing on the Earth atmosphere, in energetic particle propagation and precipitation and their effects on polar atmosphere and Earth system as a whole.

Dr. Nikita Bobrov graduated from Leningrad State University in 1990 (Diploma in Geophysics), Ph.D. (1998, St. Petersburg State University). Presently, he is Associate Professor at Geophysics Department, St. Petersburg State University. He held senior research positions in geophysical exploration companies Sevmorgeo, EMMET JSC, Geological Center of St. Petersburg University.  Dr. Bobrov is expert in engineering and environmental geophysics specializing in electromagnetic methods.

Dr. Evgeny Gordeev graduated from St. Petersburg State University in 2010 (M.Sc. in Physics), Ph.D. (2014, St. Petersburg State University). Presently, he is Senior Research Scientist at Earth Physics Department, St. Petersburg State University, and at Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, Saint Petersburg. He is Visiting researcher at Finnish Meteorological Institute (Helsinki, Finland), Goddard Space Flight Center (Maryland, USA), Space Science Institute (Graz, Austria). His research interests are in studies of global and meso-scale magnetospheric dynamics, using both observations and different types of modelling (numerical, analytical, empirical).

Dr. Evgeniy Kulakov graduated from Novosibirsk State University in 1998 (B.Sc. in Applied Geophysics), M.Sc. (2011) and Ph.D. (2014) in Geology from Michigan Technological University. Presently, he is Research Scientist at the Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED), University of Oslo,Norway. His research interests include geomagnetism, paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, and their broader applications in Earth Sciences such as the long-term evolution of geomagnetic field, global plate tectonics and paleogeographic reconstructions.
