Igor A. Shiklomanov

Igor A. Shiklomanov is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Igor A. Shiklomanov rather than just read about it. In short: Igor Alekseyevich Shiklomanov (Russian: Игорь Алексеевич Шикломанов; February 28, 1939, Tver Oblast – August 22, 2010, St. Petersburg) was a Russian hydrologist, Doctor of Sciences, Professor, Director of the Russian State Hydrological Institute from 1981, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (since 2001), Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation (1999), Laureate of the 2001 International Hydrol…

Key takeaways

Igor A. Shiklomanov belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Igor A. Shiklomanov to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Igor A. Shiklomanov from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Igor Alekseyevich Shiklomanov (Russian: Игорь Алексеевич Шикломанов; February 28, 1939, Tver Oblast – August 22, 2010, St. Petersburg) was a Russian hydrologist, Doctor of Sciences, Professor, Director of the Russian State Hydrological Institute from 1981, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (since 2001), Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation (1999), Laureate of the 2001 International Hydrology Prize and of the 2006 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement. He graduated from the Russian State Hydrometeorological University in 1961. In 1967, he defended his Candidate's Dissertation. He was a student of Professor Daniil Sokolovsky. In 1977, he defended his doctoral dissertation. I.A.Shiklomanov is the author more than 220 scientific papers including 11 monographs.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Igor A. Shiklomanov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Igor A. Shiklomanov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Igor A. Shiklomanov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Igor A. Shiklomanov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Igor A. Shiklomanov

In research: Igor A. Shiklomanov appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Igor A. Shiklomanov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Igor A. Shiklomanov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1939 births, 2010 deaths, Academic staff of Russian State Hydrometeorological University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Igor A. Shiklomanov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
