  Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (Владимир Иванович Вернадский) ( March 12, 1863, N.S. February 28, O.S. January 6, 1945) was a Russian mineralogist and geochemist who first popularized the concept of the noosphere and deepened the idea biosphere to the meaning largely recognized by today's scientific community.
Vernadsky is considered one of the precursors of ecology.
In Vernadsky's theory of how the earth develops, the noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the earth, after the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life).

 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky and his Revolutionary Theory of Biosphere and Noosphere   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (1863-1945) was the scientist who elaborated the concept of the biosphere and who is now generally acknowledged as the originator of a new paradigm of life studies (Smil, 2002, p.
Vernadsky was one of the few high-level scientists that consciously decided to stay in the country to save academic traditions and science.
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky, the founder of the concept of the Biosphere and Noosphere (the most progressive contemporary scientific and philosophical worldview), is certainly one of these exceptional thinkers that leave indelible marks in human history and will affect future evolution of humanity for a long time.

 EGU - Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky was an Ukranian-Russian scientist (1863-1945) whose expertise was remarkably diverse: he studied in the fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, biogeochemistry and cristallography.
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky was convinced of the critical usefulness of maintaining close scientific contacts with foreign colleagues and travelled extensively across Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria and Italy), both for research and teaching.
Although his achievements have only been recognized lately in Western countries(*) Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky is one of the earlier and most prominent European proponent of interdisciplinary research on Biogeosciences.

 HYLE 10-1 (2004): Book Review: George S. Levit: Biogeochemistry - Biosphere - Noosphere: The Growth of the Theoretical ...
Vernadsky’s scientific activity embraced a broad spectrum of problems, from very specific discussions in crystallography or biochemistry to philosophical issues such as the origin and meaning of life, the functional principles of living matter, the interaction between humankind and its environment, the future of human civilization, and so on.
Stressing the integrative character of Vernadsky’s doctrine, Levit demonstrates that it was elaborated on the basis of many specific studies in the particular sciences such that it can be qualified as a set of empirical generalizations.
Levit convincingly argues that both Vernadsky’s notion of space-time dissymmetry of living matter and his concept of the biosphere as a self-regulating system require general philosophical presuppositions that do not belong to the area of pure science.

On author's opinion Vernadsky despite all his respect for Darwin and Wallace considered the theory of natural selection simply as general evolutionary theory and didn't appreciate the population thinking which is the core of the concept.
The core of the young lens with maximum temperature of 11.07 degrees C and maximum salinity of 35.56 was located at depths of 640-830 m, and had temperature and salinity anomalies of 0.75 degrees C and 0.22 with respect to the background water.
After the formalisation of the Vernadsky concept of the biosphere, the main principle, the co-evolution of man and the biosphere, is suggested for consideration.

Vernadsky began his activity as a soil scientist, being a student, in the eighties of the last century he participated in expeditions of his teacher Dokuchaev, the founder of present-day soil science.
Vernadsky studied the rate of propagation of life in the biosphere, developed a mathematical method for determining the pressure of different types of living matter, determined cycles ( chemical elements passing through living matter of the biosphere that is, he clarified the main features of the structure and life of the biosphere.
It is precisely Vernadsky's teaching on the biosphere on which this concept is based, Gegamyan, a biologist from France and a follower of Vernadsky, suggested in one of his papers that this teaching should be called biospherology.

"Vernadsky hat für den Raum geleistet, was Darwin für die Zeit getan hat: Während Darwin dokumentierte, daß alles Leben von einem entfernten Urahnen abstammt, zeigte Vernadsky, daß alles Leben einen stofflich einheitlichen Raum einnimmt, die Biosphäre" (Lynn Margulis, [1] ( http://www.vwb-verlag.com/Katalog/m351.html)).

A century later the Russian philosopher Y. Korolenko told his nephew, Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky, that the Earth was a live being, and though it is not clear that Vernadsky believed this himself, his studies of Earth took a very different view of life than did those of other scientists.
Vernadsky called life "a disperse of rock," because he saw life as a chemical process transforming rock into highly active living matter and back, breaking it up, and moving it about in an endless cyclical process.
Vernadsky's view is presented in this book, as we say life is rock rearranging itself -- like music come alive -- packaging itself as cells, speeding its chemical changes with enzymes, turning cosmic radiation into its own forms of energy, transforming itself into ever-evolving creatures and back into rock.
