Abstract
This special issue of the journal, dedicated to the memory of Academician Nikolai Leontievich Dobretsov, features papers reflecting the development of his research and ideas in the fields of his scientific interests. The diversity of Dobretsov’s scientific interests determined the broad range of topics covered in the presented papers: tectonics, deep geodynamics, the interaction of plate tectonics and mantle plumes, metamorphism, including ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism in subduction zones, structural patterns of geomagnetic and gravitational fields and their relationship with plume magmatism, and unique mineral deposits.
