SAZHIN 326 



Saukov's investigations are in the geochemistry of rare ele- 

 ments and of mercury. On the basis of a method developed by 

 him for the determination of small quantities of mercury, he 

 studied the distribution of mercury in various rocks and miner- 

 als; he studied the genesis of mercury deposits and proposed a 

 method of prospecting for them based on a study of the so- 

 called "dispersion halo." A number of investigations of Saukov 

 deal with general questions of geochemistry, including ener- 

 getics of natural processes and natural association of elements, 

 problems of their migration, the geochemical methods of pros- 

 pecting for deposits of commercial minerals. He is the author 

 of a textbook. Geochemistry, which was translated into Bulgari- 

 an, German, Chinese, Polish and Czech, Rumanian, Georgian.
