Corr. Member RAN V. P. Trubitsyn (Institute of Physics of the Earth RAS, Moscow) Specialist in various fields of geophysics: the properties of subsurface material, the internal structure of the Earth and planets, the theory of the gravitational field and the figures of the giant planets, hydrodynamics magma chambers, global tectonics of the Earth. Recently, based on mathematical modeling developed the foundations of a new tectonic theory — tectonics of floating continents. This theory combines the idea of Wegener’s theory of floating continents tectonics of oceanic lithosphere, since it takes into account all the thermal and mechanical interaction between continents with the viscous mantle and oceanic lithosphere, "freezes" to the continents on the passive margins and plunging into the mantle on their active margins.
