Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Alik Ismail-Zadeh is a Senior Scientist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Chief Scientist of the Russian Academy of Sciences at Moscow (RusAS), and Professor of the Institut de Physique de Globe de Paris. He graduated from the Baku State and Lomonossov Moscow State Universities before being awarded Ph.D. and Doctor of Science degrees in geophysics from RusAS. He lectures on computational geodynamics at the University of Karlsruhe, Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, and Moscow State University of Oil and Gas, while his research interests cover crust and mantle dynamics, basin evolution, salt tectonics, and seismic hazards. Professor Ismail-Zadeh is the recipient of the 1995 Academia Europaea Medal and the 2009 American Geophysical Union International Award, and is Secretary-General of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics until 2015.

Paul Tackley is Chair of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Group in the Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth Sciences, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich). He received an MA from the University of Cambridge and an MS and Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology before taking up a position in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences and Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles. He became a full professor there before moving to ETH Zürich in 2005, where he currently teaches courses in geodynamic modeling. Professor Tackley's research involves applying large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations using state of the art methods and parallel supercomputers to study the structure, dynamics and evolution of the Earth and other terrestrial planets. He has served as an associate editor for various journals and is on the editorial board of Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics.
