Laboratory of Orogenesis

Name of the project: Orogenesis: formation and growth of continents and supercontinents

Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development Priority Level: б

Project objective:

1. Creation of a new high-profile center to study geochronology, geochemistry and paleomagnetism at the Institute of the Earth's Crust of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

2. Development of a number of paleogeographic models of formation, development of accretion growth of the Siberian craton in the global context, its collisions with the Baltic and terrains of Western Siberia that has lead to formation of Eurasia as well as models of collision and accretion orogenes related to this and ore formation related to them, processes of formation and development of sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon deposits.
