April 27, 2026. D.Sc. Yuliana Rostovtseva, Principal Research Scientist at the Geoophysical Center RAS, gave an interview (in Russian) as part of the program "Myths and Legends of the Oil Industry. Lithologists, hold on!" on Radio Mediametrics.
"3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by sedimentary rocks and sediments. Most mineral resources, including oil and gas, coal, and salts, are confined precisely to sedimentary formations. The area of accumulation of sedimentary formations is, in fact, the human habitat," reported Yuliana Rostovtseva.
The scientist spoke about the importance of lithology, the reasons for the shortage of lithologists, the specifics of their training, research work, and much more.
