Abstract
Leonid M. Parfenov (1937-2002) was the leading force behind theinterpretation of northeast Russia in the context of plate tectonics. Originally interested in Precambrian geology, he conducted his early field work in southern Siberia in the 1960s.
He was exposed to plate tectonics at Liverpool University in 1970 and published the first mobilistic reconstructions of the Precambrian in Russia in 1973. Starting in 1971, he began to systematically conduct field work and accumulate geologic data on what is now considered the accretionary collage of northeast Russia.
With colleague Boris A. Natal'in, he published a series of papers on the tectonic evolution of eastern Russia starting in 1977, with a doctoral dissertation on "Comparative Tectonics and Evolution History of Mesozoides of Northeast Asia" in 1983.
His work became known in the west with his publication in 1978 in the Journal of Physics of the Earth on "Geodynamics of the North-Eastern Asia in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic
