Biography
Born in Moscow . Member of World War II . In 1941-1943 - Training in the school of navigators of Long-Range Aviation. From August 1944, in the 3rd Combat 3rd Guards Regiment, the ADD participated in combat sorties as the navigator of the IL-4 bomber.
June 17, 1946 - demobilization from the army.
1946 to 1949 - work at the Institute of Oceanology (founded in January 1946)
After the war in 1949 he graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in physical geography. Since 1947, he combined studies with the work of a laboratory assistant at the Institute of Oceanology.
Since 1947 he began to participate in marine scientific expeditions, conducted more than 50 expeditions.
In 1952 he graduated from the graduate school of Moscow State University , the candidate dissertation was awarded the Prize of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
From 1953 to 1955, he was a junior research fellow at the Institute of Oceanology , from 1955-1965. - Senior Researcher, from 1965 to 1976 - Head of the Laboratory of tectonics and geophysics of the ocean floor.
Since 1976, head of the laboratory of geomorphology and tectonics of the ocean floor at the Institute of Earth Physics .
Since 1986, head of the laboratory of the Geological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences .
Since December 7, 1991, a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences , section of Earth sciences (geography, oceanology). [one]
Since 1992, head of the laboratory of geomorphology and tectonics of the bottom of the oceans of the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry. V.I. Vernadsky RAS .
He was buried at the Golovinsky cemetery (plot 17) [1] .
Scientific activity
During expeditions with the participation of Udintsev, the maximum depths of the World Ocean were measured, including the deepest point - the Mariana Trench. The publication in 1963 of the bathymetric map of the Pacific Ocean became an important event in the knowledge of the Earth.
In the late 60s - mid 70s, Udintsev led several expeditions aimed at studying rifting in the Indian and Atlantic oceans.
He took an active part in the largest scientific event of the 20th century - in the project on deep-sea drilling on the Glomar Challenger vessel. He headed the Soviet Ocean Drilling Commission as part of this Soviet-American project. And in 1974 he became the cofounder of the voyage on the American vessel Glomar Challenger, which carried out work in the region of Iceland.
Geographical discoveries made by Udintsev during the expeditions: the deep-sea trench “Vityaz”, underwater ridges and elevations of Shirshov, Shatsky, Obruchev, the Academy of Sciences, the fault zone “Vityaz”, Kurchatov.
