  • Development of advanced system of processing and interpretation of potential geophysical fields under conditions of rugged terrain relief, oblique polarization and unknown level of analysis of geophysical, geological and related data

  • Geophysical the normal background

  • Nonconventional analysis of magnetic data (from very detailed to regional scales): removing different types of noise, qualitative and quantitative analysis & 3D modeling

  • Integrated recognition of hidden karst terranes

  • Archaeological geophysics (magnetic, self-potential, microgravity, temperature, GPR, etc.); Construction of 2.5D and 3D physical-archaeological models

  • Nonlinear geophysics and its applications to different geological-geophysical problems

  • Investigation of magnetic, radon and VLF variations as possible earthquake precursors

  • Studying seismo-tectonic pattern by the use of numerous geological-geophysical and other indicators

  • Tectonic and geodynamic reconstructions with utilization of geophysical and paleogeographical data analysis

  • Development of Moho and Curie maps

  • Investigation of Ring Structures in the Earth’s environments

  • Multilevel measured geophysical data as a new source for receiving new information

  • Satellite gravity and magnetic observations: A new powerful tool for unmasking Earth’s structure

  • Searching hydrocarbon deposits and different types of hard economic minerals

  • 3D combined gravity-magnetic field modeling as a powerful tool of geological-geophysical data examination

  • Examination of climate of the past by the use of thermal data observed in boreholes

  • Processing and interpretation of thermal data observed in oil&gas and water wells

  • Thermal processes in the Earth’s crust

  • From the early Earth to modern state: plate tectonics
