. Research interests: fotogeologicheskoe mapping of Mars and Venus, . study of evolution and raftogeneza okeanogeneza in the history of the Earth and terrestrial planets, . comparative planetology, . development of models for the formation of sedimentary basins, . Geology of the East European Platform,
. The evolution of terrestrial planets, . discovered the role and scope of rifting and okeanogeneza in their history, . found significant structural, . Genetic diversity of manifestations of rifting on the terrestrial planets and the fundamental differences in the geodynamics of the planets,
. Developed a method of modeling the geological history of sedimentary basins. Charted new directions in comparative planetary science and geotectonics - comparative historical geotectonics planets and modeling of sedimentary basins. He carried out geological studies in the Crimea and Kazakhstan. Topic of Ph.D. thesis: Riftopodobnye structure of Mars and their comparative analysis planetological. Subject doctoral dissertation: rifting in the geological history of the terrestrial planets.
