My Research Connections with Russian Scientists over the Past Half Century

Over the past half century, I have maintained research connections with Russian scientists during investigations in seismology and mineral physics. These studies have focused on detection and discrimination of underground nuclear explosions and measurements of the physical properties of minerals at high pressures and temperatures. During this period, I have also visited many research laboratories in Russia, including Moscow, Chernogolovka, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg. The objective of this paper is to relate this history.
