Stanislav I. Braginsky was a Research Geophysicist at UCLA.
In 1964, he contributed to models of the geodynamo with his theory of the "nearly symmetric dynamo", published 1964. He emigrated from the Soviet Union to the United States in 1988.
In 1992, the American Geophysical Union awarded him the John Adam Fleming Medal for contributions to geomagnetism.
