Alexey Fyodorovich Tryoshnikov,[1] also spelt Aleksei Fedorovich Tryoshnikov,[2][3] was born on 14 April 1914[2] inPavlovka,Karsunsky Uyezd,Simbirsk Governorate,Soviet Union.

Tryoshnikov was an oceanologist, geographer, and researcher.[2][3]
Tryoshnikov was involved in defending theNorthern Sea Route duringWorld War II and participated in theSoviet Antarctic Expedition.[citation needed]
Between 1954 and 1955, he was the leader of theNorth Pole-3ice station in theArctic Ocean.[citation needed] He headed the drifting station Severny Polyus-3 (North Pole-3).[3]
He led the2nd Soviet Antarctic Expedition in November 1956 and the13th Soviet Antarctic Expedition from 1967 to 1969.
Tryoshnikov supported a new scientific direction — the theory of self-organization and self-regulation of natural systemsD-SELF.[a][4] He submitted his first scientific articles, as A. F. Treshnikov, in this scientific field to theReports of theRussian Academy of Sciences (DAN – Doklady Academii Nauk).[5]
In 1987, an initiative group of scientists engaged in interdisciplinary research of open dynamical systems. At first, the group consisted of four people: G.M. Degtyarev, A.G. Ivanov-Rostovtsev, L.G. Kolotilo and O.A. Lyubchenko. Several dozen specialists from various fields of natural sciences and humanities joined the work in different periods. The SELF model with applications was published in a series of articles of DAN, presented by academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences: A.F. Treshnikov, V.I. Ilyichev,K.Ya. Kondratiev, N.S. Solomenko, E.I. Shemyakin, S.L. Solovyov and others. Corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences S.P. Kurdyumov, L.N. Rykunov and other scientists also participated in the D–SELF project. Expanded versions of the DAN articles have been published in various academic and applied publications. Some of these works have been translated into English and published abroad.
D-SELF is a scientific field of interdisciplinary research of systems of various nature in self-organization and self–regulation. D-SELF is the initial abbreviation for a Double (dual) general process combining SELF-organization and SELF-regulation.[6]
On 12 March 1958 Tryoshnikov visitedAdelaide, Australia, on the Soviet Antarctic shipCooperatzia (akaCooperatsiya andKooperatsiya[7][8]), and spent several hours talking to Australian geologist and polar explorerDouglas Mawson.

Aminor planet, discovered by Czech astronomerAntonín Mrkos in 1978, is named after him as3339 Treshnikov.[13]
A monograph byA. G. Ivanov-Rostovtsev andL. G. Kolotilo on the topic of D-SELF published in 1999 was dedicated to the memory of A. F. Treshnikov.[5]

The never-approved 2002 draft fourth edition ofLimits of Oceans and Seas listed a proposal by Russia to name the Tryoshnikova Gulf Tryoshnikov, located in the southern part of theDavis Sea.[14]
In 2012, the research vessel RVAkademik Tryoshnikov was built in theAdmiralty Shipyards,JSC, in St. Petersburg.[3][15]
10.6.1 Tryoshnikova Gulf. This sub-area has been proposed by Russia, although due to its small size it was suggested not to include it. Some minor inconsistencies exist in the co-ordinates of the western limits compared with those for the Davis Sea. Proposals not to include this and several other smaller features should be considered. It is included here for consideration.
