PEYVE 288 



The main works of Petryanov-Sokolov deal with the study of 

 aerosols with a liquid dispersed phase, i.e., fog. He developed 

 new methods of investigating them and studied the appearance 

 of charges in them and the influence of charges on their sta- 

 bility.

A. V. Peyve was born February 9, 1909. After graduating 

 from Moscow Geological Survey Institute in 1930, he worked in 

 the Scientific Institute on Fertilizers. In 1934-1935, he took 

 part in the Tadzhik-Pamir Expedition of the U.S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences. He began working at the Geological Institute of 

 the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in 1935 and in 1952 became 

 deputy Director. In 1961 Peyve was named director. He has 

 been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union 

 since 1953. In 1958 he was elected a Corresponding Member 

 of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He was awarded a Stalin 

 Prize in 1946. 



Peyve' s main work is in regional tectonics, and also stra- 

 tigraphy of magmas and metalogenesis. He has conducted in- 

 vestigations of various types of faults in the earth's crust, par- 

 ticularly deep faults. He is the author of works on the asymme- 

 try of abyssal structures and on the conditions for the formation 

 and development of geosynclines. The name of Peyve is associ- 

 ated with the discovery of a series of deposits of bauxite, phos- 

 phorite, and potassium salts. He took part in the compilation of 

 a tectonic map of the U.S.S.R. on the sale of 1/5,000,000 (1956).
