I was born in Russia in 1960. I received a graduate degree in physics from Moscow State University in 1983 and obtained my PhD in physical oceanography at the same university in 1988. I then worked as a research scientist in the Computing Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow developing numerical climate models and studying climate consequences of nuclear war ("nuclear winter"). In 1992 I moved to the International Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, where I worked for two years in the field of integrated assessment and global climate change. Since 1994 I am at PIK.
