Ocean Observer
Manuel G. Velarde, Roman Yu. Tarakanov and Alexey V. Marchenko
On March 15, 1946, Eugene G. Morozov, an outstanding field oceanographer, was
born in Moscow. He is Doctor of Sciences in Physics and Mathematics. Since 1993
he is Head of the Hydrological Processes Laboratory at the Shirshov Institute of
Oceanology (Russian Academy of Sciences) in Moscow. He has been President
(2011–2015) of the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean
(IAPSO, in 1999 he was elected member of the IAPSO Executive Committee). He
is Laureate of the Shirshov Medal (2016). He was also a member of the executive
committees of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and
Scientific Council for Oceanic Research (SCOR). He is the Chairman of the
Oceanographic Section at the Russian National Geophysical Committee, which is a
Russian link to the IUGG. Dr. Morozov is member of the editorial boards of four
journals: Izvestia Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics, Russian Journal of Earth
Sciences, Oceanological Researches, and Fundamental and Applied Hydrophysics.
He married in 1971 to Elena A. Morozova who is a scientist in laser physics.
They have two sons: Nicolay (1977, a computer programmer) and Victor (1979,
also a field oceanographer).
In the 1970s, a new generation of oceanographers began to work at the Shirshov
Institute of Oceanology. Like Eugene, they were graduates from the Department of
the Ocean Dynamics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. This
department headed by the outstanding Russian theoretician in hydromechanics
