V. N. Saks was born April 22, 1911. He graduated from the 

 Leningrad Mining Institute in 1933. From 1935 to 1940, and 

 from 1944 to 1948, he worked at the All- Union Arctic Institute. 

 He was employed, 1940-1944, in the mining geological de- 

 partment of the Main Directorate of the Northern Seaway. In 

 1948, he worked at the Scientific Research Institute of Arctic 

 Geology. Since 1935 he has been a member of the Communist 

 Party of the Soviet Union. He was elected, in 1955, a Corre- 

 sponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He has 

 been awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. 



Saks' investigations are in quaternary geology, paleography, 

 stratigraphy, and tectonics of Mesozoic deposits of the Soviet 

 Arctic, and in the geology of its formation. He presented a 

 general scheme on the separation of quaternary deposits of the 

 Arctic, outlined the paleography of the Quaternary Period in 

 the Arctic, and worked out the stratigraphy of Mesozoic de- 

 posits of oil-bearing territories of Northern Siberia.
