Yankovsky, Sasha., Ph.D., Marine Hydrophysical Institute, 1991. Assistant Professor, Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences. Dynamics on continental shelves and in marginal seas: wind-and-bouyancy-driven currents, transient and time-variable processes, waves, wave-current interaction, mesoscale variability, adjustment of shelf currents to the topographic and coastline features.
Yogodzinski, Gene., Ph.D., Cornell University, 1993. Associate Professor, Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences. A combination of geological field work with geochemical studies that focus primarily on the use of trace element and isotope geochemistry to understand igneous processes. I am particularly interested in understanding how the geochemistry of subduction-related magma is controlled by tectonics in different subduction settings.
