Research area
  1. The use of active optical methods for studying the chemical composition of the water column, seabed, bottom sediments, core during expeditions (in the field) on ships.
  2. Creation of new automated complexes for measuring hydrophysical and hydrochemical characteristics of seawater, which can be used to monitor the state of the marine environment in the waters of the Far Eastern and Eastern Arctic seas.
  3. Localization of areas and determination of the microplastic concentration environment in the seas of the Far East and the Arctic by contact and remote measurement methods using oceanographic reanalysis data.
  4. Measurement and analysis of fields of sea brightness coefficients from satellites, ships and stationary coastal platforms to identify natural and technological hydrodynamic disturbances such as internal waves, upwellings, vortices, currents, zones of divergence and convergence, movement of underwater objects.
  5. Creation of new and development of old optical active and passive methods that are operational in time and allow for high-detail measurements in space to study the hydrophysical structure of the active ocean layer. Methods are considered here, including detailed imaging of spectral characteristics, absorption coefficients and light scattering due to the structural features of seawater.
