Short Biography

Alexander B. Polonsky, born on February 23, 1951, is a prominent oceanographer known for his expertise in physical oceanography and climate theory. He is the scientific director at the Institute of Natural and Technical Systems and has made significant contributions to the understanding of global and regional climate variability.

Education

Polonsky graduated with honors in 1973 from the Odessa Hydrometeorological Institute, specializing in oceanology. In 1991, he defended his doctoral dissertation in the same field, and in 1999, he was awarded the title of Professor in Oceanology.

Experience

From 1973 to 1976, Polonsky worked with the Hydrographic Service of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. He later joined the Marine Hydrophysical Institute. Over his career, he has been involved in multiple oceanographic projects and held positions such as Editor-in-Chief of scientific journals and expert for the IPCC (AR5).

Research Interests

Polonsky’s research focuses on global oceanic circulation, climate variability, and heat exchange in the ocean. He has made crucial contributions to understanding the mechanisms of long-term climate changes and regional processes like the variability in the Black Sea.

Awards

  • Elected as a Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (2009)
  • Elected as a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2016)
