Abstract:
The author describes the life of Konstantin Leontyevich Provorov (1909–1992), an outstanding Soviet scientist, teacher and production worker, who made a significant contribution to the geodetic works carried out in Siberia and training highly qualified personnel for the industry. Being the chief engineer of Novosibirsk aerial survey enterprise, the largest one in the country (1944–1953), K. L. Provorov carried out technical management of constructing the astronomic-and-geodetic network, laying out vast leveling networks, and after the thesis protection concerning to constructing continuous networks of triangulation, started working in NIIGAiK which he soon headed. The years of his management the institution (1956–1970) were a period of its active development: a complex of buildings was constructed, new specialties were founded, the number of students and level of research work increased. Today, the University successfully goes on training highly qualified specialists on the basis of scientific and material-technical base established under K. L. Provorov’s leadership.
