369 SOTCHAVA 



Since 1950 Sotchava has been working out theoretical and 

 methodical aspects of vegetation mapping and problems of 

 comprehensive mapping of geographical environment. These 

 problems were elucidated in several articles and reports read 

 in the U.S.S.R. and at international symposiums. In 1960 Sot- 

 chava was honored with a silver medal of Pierre Fermat by the 

 Academy of Sciences, Inscriptions and Literature in Toulouse 

 (Academie des sciences, inscriptions et belles-lettres de Tou- 

 louse).

 Geography of Siberia and the Far East, Irkutsk, Siberian De- 

 partment, U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He is also the Head 

 of the Laboratory of the Geography and Cartography of the
