Lomize Michael G.

Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences (1969), Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences (1981). Professor of Dynamic Geology, Geological Faculty (1983).

. One of the leaders of the Section of Geology UMO universities and the Council of Experts on the project "Geodynamics of Russia.

. Research Interests: Tectonics and Geodynamics of folded regions
. Studies with dozens of field work in the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, the Carpathians, the Andes (Chile), Iceland, in the Tien Shan, as well as the route observations in several other regions. Patterns of volcanism in geosynclines on the continental crust, while flow of magma from the mantle and vnutrikorovyh sources was content dissertation and the monograph "Volcanism of the North-West Caucasus and its relation with tectonics" (1969),
. They demonstrated the possibility of recognition crustal substrate, taking into account the geochemical characteristics of volcanic rocks for the Carpathian Tethys frame. Research in the Central Andes and comparative tectonic analysis of marginal-continental volcanic belts of the Pacific frame allowed to consider the conditions of their lateral migration of the subduction zone, . as well as the unevenness of their development over time,
. Rejection of the concept of geosynclinal volcanism as a single magmatic and genetic type, . contrast and delineation of formations, . associated with zones of tension and with subduction zones have found justification in the doctoral dissertation and the monograph "The tectonic environment geosynclinal volcanism",
. In accordance with the origin and the interaction of suture zones in t.ch. ophiolitic, revised-known concept of "major structural line of Tien-Shan". Research data on the tectonic erosion in modern subduction zones and the conditions of its manifestation allowed to put forward an idea of the balance between modes of accretion and erosion in subduction. The necessity and feasibility of accounting for this phenomenon paleotectonic reconstructions. New opportunities arising in the analysis of the folded area in the context of global and regional tectonic events are shown in the example of the Caucasus. Was carried out pre-ordering and the correlation of the main manifestations of orogeny in Mesozoic-Cenozoic. Is shown that the pulsating rhythm of rifting (extension) and folding (compression) is superimposed on the variation of spreading, subduction, and evstazii and geomagnetic inversions.

Lectures on geotectonics on paleotektonike folded regions. One of the authors of modern syllabus "Geotectonics", a textbook and workbook for him.

He has published over 110 scientific papers.
