Svetlana A. KUZMINA

Kuzmina

Born in Moscow on August 26, 1961. In 1985, graduated from the Department of Palaeontology, Faculty of Geology, Moscow State University, and was employed at the Department of Palaeontology for several years. In 2001, received PhD degree in biology. In Paleontological Institute since 2002. Scientific interests include quaternary insects, mainly coleopterans, of Eastern Artic. Participated in expeditions to Komi Republic, Arkhangelsk Region, the Lena River delta, Novosibirsk Islands, lower reachers of the Indigirka River, Magadan Region, and Chukotka. Currently, the main research area is restricted to the delta of the Lena River, where I work as a member of the Russian-Germany expedition Laptev Sea System.
