Leading scientist's research interests: Polar regions, biogeochemistry, Arctic Ocean, carbon cycle, permafrost degradation, greenhouse gas flows, climate

Quote by the head of the laboratory: In the 1990s we were the first to start working on determining biological consequences of degradation of near-coast and ground permafrost on the Arctic shelf, and starting from 2000 our marine research were aimed at studying processes of bubble methane unloading depending on the state of the underwater permafrost and determining their importance for the climate and the ecology. Nowadays this research grew into a number of major international projects.
