The history of the geophysics department has been lasted for about half a century: from 1951 to 2000. Due to external factors, its
departmental structure took a long time to form; the names of departments, heads, and deans have changed. Staff members
were the most gifted graduates of the initial department of geophysics. This circumstance was largely due to scientific and
pedagogical authority of the department as one of the leading centers of Soviet geophysics in all its main directions: electrical
prospecting, borehole geophysics, geochemistry, radiometrics and nuclear geophysics, gravity and magnetics, seismic
measurements. In 2000, the Institute of Geology and Geophysics was established on the basis of the geological and geophysics
departments. It was rearranged into the Department of Geology and Geophysics ten years later.
Keywords: Faculty of Geophysics, Deans, Departments of Ore and General Geophysics, G. P. Sakovtsev, A. K. Kozyrin, Institute of
Geology and Geophysics, department of geology and geophysics.
