Dear ÐÔÓûÉç students, faculty and staff,

I was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Sergey Marchenko, a research associate professor and member of the Snow, Ice and Permafrost Group at the Geophysical Institute.

Marchenko first came to ÐÔÓûÉç in 2003 as a visiting research scholar from the Yakutsk Permafrost Institute in Russia and became a research associate professor in 2008. His research focused on the formation, distribution and evolution of permafrost in mountainous regions from the Quaternary Period to the present. He was a renowned expert in the study of climate and permafrost interactions worldwide.Ìý
