179 KORZHINSKII 



Russian botanist) was born September 13, 1899. After graduat- 

 ing from the Leningrad Mining Institute in 1926, he worked on 

 the Geological Committee. Then, until 1937, he was with the 

 Central Scientific Research Geological Survey Institute. In 1937 

 he began working in the Institute of Geology at the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences, and in 1956 in the Institute of Geology for 

 Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the 

 U.S.S.R. Academy of Scientists. Also during these years, 1929 

 to 1940, he taught at the Leningrad Mining Institute. Korzhinskii 

 became a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of 

 Sciences in 1943, and in 1953 an Academician. He was awarded 

 in 1946, a Stalin Prize, in 1949, the A. P. Karpinskii Prize by 

 the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, and in 1958, a Lenin Prize. 



Korzhinskii studied pre- Cambrian crystalline rock for- 

 mations and associated mineral resources of Yakutiya and 

 Eastern Siberia, Skarn ore beds of the Urals, and Central Asia. 

 His main works are devoted to physico-chemical analysis of the 

 process of mineral formation (mainly the metamorphic and 

 metasomatic processes). He has studied the thermodynamics of 

 natural systems and methods of analyzing mineral paragenesis. 



As of November 1962, he has been made chief editor of the 

 journal. Geology of Ore Deposits.
