Vadim Constantinovich Mushtak, renowned for his work in radio physics and atmospheric electricity, died on 25 September 2013 in an automobile accident in Walker Valley, N.Y. He was 65. Vadim was a world expert in extremely low frequency (ELF) wave propagation and the Earth's naturally occurring Schumann resonances (SR)—quasi‐standing electromagnetic waves trapped in the Earth‐ionosphere cavity.
