Stanislav Braginsky Explained

Stanislav I. Braginsky was a Research Geophysicist at UCLA.^[1]

In 1964, he contributed to models of the geodynamo with his theory of the "nearly symmetric dynamo", published 1964.^[2] He emigrated from the Soviet Union to the United States in 1988.^[3]

In 1992, the American Geophysical Union awarded him the John Adam Fleming Medal for contributions to geomagnetism.^[4]
