Abstract

March 2022 marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Soviet and Russian geophysicist, Professor Leonid Lvovich Vanyan. L. L. Vanyan was the author of bright scientific ideas and classic books, a talented scientist who brought up more than dozens followers. The works of L. L. Vanyan, together with the works of M. N. Berdichevsky, made a huge contribution to the theory of electromagnetic sounding, developing the fundamental works of the founders of electromagnetic methods – V. R. Bursian, A. P. Kraev, S. M. Sheinman, A. S. Semenov, L. M. Alpin. Most of the modern technologies and methods of electromagnetic studies of the deep structure of the Earth, including seafloor electromagnetic sounding, are based on this theoretical basis.
