(5) Employment:
(A) Since 1964 till present he has been with the Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics, USSR/Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow and City of Friazino (see affiliation above):
1990 - present: Chief, laboratory of Multispectral Remote Sensing Studies of the Environment;
1967 - 1990: Junior Scientist, Senior Scientist, Principal Investigator, Head of Remote Sensing Group;
1964 - 1967: Postgraduate student, Junior Scientist.
(B) 1961 - 1963: Radio Engineer, Electrotechnical Institute of Communication, City of Odessa.

(6) Special Engagements:
1989: participation in the U.S. Congress Hearings on Space Research, Washington, D.C., USA;
1983: participation in the Study Week on УRemote Sensing and Its Impact on Developing CountriesФ; giving a presentation and having talks to His Holiness, Pope John Paul II. Pontifical Academy of Sciences, City of Vatican.

(7) The Main Areas of Activity are as follows:
- Research and development in remote sensing of the environmental objects, soils, vegetation, wetland areas, oceans, seas, lakes, inland waters, first of all by means of microwave radiometry with a due regard for the data measured at the infrared and optical wavelengths;
- Elaboration of the remote sensing technologies for quantitative estimation of a soil moisture, depth to a shallow water table, the index of soil dryness, biomass of vegetation, updating the contours of wetlands, determination of a water surface temperature, salinity, general mineralization;
- Developing approach for utilization of microwave radiometers in geoecology and epidemiology for more direct, comparable with infrared sensors, determination of a soil moisture and other moisture related parameters which serve as the important background information for a risk of different diseases assessment;
- Understanding synergism; developing approaches for land/canopy and water/canopy systems classification by using microwave, infrared, and optical sensors; understanding and utilizing the interconnection between the environmental objects of different types by using remote sensing technologies;
- Developing concepts and structure of Geoinformation Monitoring System (GIMS) for different applications. The GIMS approach is based on a joint use of the remotely sensed data, in situ measurements, prior knowledge-based information, data banks, GIS and the mathematical models of spatial-temporal variations of physical and chemical parameters of the natural objects;
- Developing ways for practical application of the technologies worked out in agriculture, land reclamation, hydrology, ecology and in many other areas; data collection and processing; interpretation and thematic mapping;
- Participation in the Spacecraft PRIRODA-MIR International Project; Developing joint (with the institutions in Russia, USA, Bulgaria, Ukraine) programs on the scientific utilization of microwave radiometric data or/and multispectral data (microwave, infrared, optical);
- Developing proposals on Earth Research from the International Space Station УAlphaФ.

(8) Consulting and Practical Experience is as follows:
- Chief, PI or member of a number of National and International Research Projects and/or Campaigns on conducting Remote Sensing observations from the aircraft and satellites in former Soviet Union, recent CIS countries (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine), in Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Vietnam, Cuba, Italy (with IROE-CNR), USA (with the USDA-BARC, NASA-GSFC, LSU, National Wetlands Research Center);
