Biography
Professor Felix Lesnov graduated at the Geology Department, University of Lviv, Ukraine in 1957. Between 1957 and 1963 he was employed by the USSR Ministry of Geology (field geologist), Ulan-Ude. As of 1963 he is affiliated with the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk). He published more than 250 papers and 8 monographs, dedicated to geology, petrology, petrochemistry , mineralogy, geochemistry, and metallogeny of mafic-ultramafic associations of Chukotka, Kamchatka, Sakhalin Island, Transbaykalia, Mongolia, Urasl, Tian-Shan, Northern Pamir, and other regions.
