Valery SorokinValery Sorokin graduated from the Moscow Engineering Physical Institute (MEPhI), department of theoretical and experimental physics, specialized in theoretical nuclear physics. Scientific interest concentrates primarily in electrodynamics of ionospheic plasma, waves in the plasma, atmospheric electricity, electromagnetic and plasma response to the influence of different sources in the ionosphere. Valery Sorokin has an established track record in electrodynamics of the ionosphere and the atmosphere - ionosphere interaction, propagation of MHD waves in space plasma and electromagnetic effects of nuclear explosions, earthquakes and hurricanes in the near Earth environment. Valery is an author of over 180 publications and 6 monographs. Read More Read Less
