Basic science 2030

The range of research activities carried out at MIIGAiK is based on obtaining new knowledge about the laws of the structure, functioning and development of the Earth and other spatial objects. The results of the university's scientific activities contribute to the sustainable scientific-technological and socio-economic development of the country, providing scientific leadership in the world scientific agenda for the long term.

The research is carried out in the Earth Sciences and Technical Sciences. Main directions:

1. Preparation and analysis of geological and geochemical maps of Venus, Mars and the Moon, development of proposals for the development of the Moon and the creation of lunar infrastructure.

2. Fundamental complex studies of processes occurring in the depths of the mantle, interaction of the crust and mantle, mantle and core, development and application of methods for ground and satellite monitoring of active geodynamic processes (earthquakes, volcanism, landslides, karsts, tsunamis, avalanches, etc.), improvement of methods for studying and modeling these processes.

3. Development of fundamental principles, methods and technologies for the analysis of large arrays of ground-based and satellite geological and geophysical, geographical and geodetic data using system analysis, mathematical modeling, digital mapping, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
