Research

Major research areas — from the mathematical modeling of the biosphere to the theory of the noosphere and the long-term development of humankind.

Mathematical modeling of the biosphere

Models of global biosphere dynamics under anthropogenic impact — the central theme of the whole body of work.

Global models

Global carbon and nitrogen cycle

Cycles in the "atmosphere — land plants — soil" and "atmosphere — ocean" systems: point, zonal and spatial models.

Biogeochemistry

Climate and anthropogenic impact

The greenhouse effect, rising CO₂ concentration, global warming, forecasts of climate change.

Climate

Forest ecosystems

Forest degradation under industrial pollution and acid rain; spatial models of degradation zones.

Ecosystems

Biosphere stability and the Le Chatelier principle

A mathematical interpretation of the Le Chatelier principle in global ecology; the capacity of ecosystems to compensate impacts.

Stability

Noosphere and long-term development

The theory of Vernadsky and Moiseev, the coevolution of humankind and the biosphere, long-term world development.

Noosphere

Socio-natural development of Russia and the world

Demographic, technological and socio-humanitarian indicators of long-term development.
