The Main Research Areas of the Institute of Environmental Sciences:
- evaluation of risk of the waste by means of the tests with bacteria, plants, crustacean and protozoa (see more details below);
- estimation of microbial community structure of degraded soils and wastes by means of molecular biological methods (see more details below);
- the evaluation of microorganisms as the indicators of contaminated soils(see more details below);
- development of technologies for the treatment of municipal solid waste, oily waste and sewage sludge;
- soil restoration using composts (see more details below);
- bioremediation of oily wastes and oily polluted soils by means of plants and microorganisms (see more details below);
- aquatic toxicology including the application of methods to assess the effects of contaminants, degraded water quality, and other environmental stressors on aquatic organism, toxicity and bioaccumulation of contaminants from water and sediments (see more details below)t;
- biomorfological and ecological approaches at spatial pattern investigation of different life forms plant populations;
- species composition probabilistic models of vegetation and map modeling of potential habitats for rare plant species;
- dendroclimatology, modeling prognosis of retrospective and potential regional forest vegetation;
- expert estimation systems for biological resourses using and restoration at regional level under influence of global warming.
- GIS, remote sensing, spatial analysis at modeling in ecology;
- landscape ecological analysis of the geospace;
- ecological approaches to biodiversity conservation;
- transport processes in environment: aerosol studies, air pollution modeling, water and ground water; pollution modeling;
- global and regional climate change;
- population and ecosystem structure, functioning and dynamics at anthropogenic landscapes
