Mathematical Modelling of Meteoroid Streams

Galina Ryabova is a Principal Researcher and Professor at Tomsk State University. Her scientific interests are mathematical modelling of meteoroid streams and interrelations in asteroid-comet-meteoroid complex. She developed a mathematical model of the Geminid meteoroid stream — one of the three existing stream models. She has served on the Organizing Committee of the International Astronomical Union's "Meteors, Meteorites and Interplanetary Dust" Commission (IAU C.F1). She was also a Council member of the International Meteor Organization. She is editor-in-chief of the reference book “Meteoroids: Sources of Meteors on the Earth and Beyond” (Cambridge University Press, 2019).
