Research interests: stratigraphy, Geotectonics, seismotectonics, engineering geology, geomorphology, history of science. As a student, published a series of articles on stratigraphy, tectonics and engineering geology of areas of Crimea, the southern Volga and central regions of Russia. In 1937, Mr.. by accumulation of scientific work without defending a thesis he was awarded the degree of Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences. Subject doctoral thesis: The main problems of regional engineering geology and an example of engineering-geological zoning of the Southern Volga. In this paper we first formulated the problem of regional engineering geology, given their consideration in the district geographical aspects in relation to different types of construction, considered the principles of engineering geology mapping. Author works, . on geotectonics, . geodynamics, . neotectonics, . seismotectonics, . Geomorphology, . Geology, . stratigraphy and genetic types of the latest deposits, . as well as the various problems of dynamic geology, . Engineering Geology, . Hydrogeology, . Seismology, . History Science,
. First carried out a comprehensive analysis of methods for the study of recent tectonic movements, . proposed a comprehensive method of studying neotectonics, . examined the ratio of geomorphological and neotectonic (structural) elements on the example of different regions of the world, . proposed the concept of neotectonic stage of development of the crust, . identified a new section of environmental neotectonics,
. Created the first broad synthesis of methodological and regional issues of neotectonics. Author First Review maps neotectonics of the USSR (1950). Under his leadership, and the editorial published the first map of recent tectonics of the USSR (1959). Later published maps of recent tectonics of Europe, . Scandinavia, . territory of Russia and neighboring foreign countries (1977), . South Asia (1981), . Mira (1984) with explanatory notes, . as well as the latest maps of the fault tectonics, . gradients of the latest vertical movements, . tectonic activity in the USSR,
. Closely related to issues of neotectonics develops problem prediction of seismicity. Held seismic zoning of the Crimea (1964), . proposed new principles of seismic zoning of the East European platform (1964), . studied the issues of excited seismicity, . linking them with the problem of environmental protection (1970-1978), . considered the problem of tectonic earthquakes, . their relationship with tektonodinamikoy, . seismotectonics and nonlinear geodynamics (1993),

. In MGRI MSU and taught courses in geotectonics, neotectonics, seismotectonics, geomorphology, general geology, military geology, etc.. In 1937, Mr.. first (Joint. with MP Kozonovym and Shantser) developed and conducted academic geological practice in the Bakhchissaray region of Crimea for students MGRI. In 1972. developed an original methodology for geological practice for students of soil science.
