Summary
I work with many kind of vintage and new collected seismic data from the Arctic Ocean for a last
12 years: processing, velocity modelling, and interpretation with incorporation of other geophysical
and geological data. I like to work with non-standard, diverse and challenging problems what requires
broad range of geophysical knowledge. Also I worked with OBS data from the Indian Ocean, Bengal
Bay and the Bering Sea.
