Main areas of fundamental research:

Paleogeodynamic reconstructions of the formation of folded belts from the early island-arc stage to post-collisional processes, study of intrusive magmatism, volcanogenic-sedimentary complexes and accompanying processes of metasomatic rock alteration and superimposed mineralization at each stage of the formation of folded belts.

Study of regional metallogeny of folded belts and forecasting zones of probable discovery of mineralization of various genetic types in folded areas. Determination of regional and local factors controlling gemstone mineralization.

Study of plume magmatism, large igneous provinces (LIPs) and associated ferrous, non-ferrous and precious metal deposits. Study of mantle processes and mantle-crust interactions during magma ascent. Study of the influence of volatile components on the formation of mineralization in large igneous provinces.

Study of the transition from collision to rifting and platform formation, study of the tectonics of the platform stage of continental crust development, study of the factors controlling the localization of hydrocarbon deposits within large platforms.

Ultramafic-mafic magmatism and associated mineral deposits of ophiolite belts, concentrically zoned gabbro-ultramafic intrusions of the Ural platinum belt and gabbro-ultramafic layered intrusions of the western slope of the Urals. Tectonics of the basement and sedimentary cover of the West Siberian platform, the structure of the pre-Jurassic basement and determination of the oil and gas potential of the pre-Jurassic complex of the West Siberian platform. Study of deep hydrocarbon deposits at the base of the sedimentary cover and in the basement of young platforms.

The laboratory staff carries out contractual R & D work in the following areas:

1. Geology, prospecting and exploration of deposits of ferrous, non-ferrous and precious metals, non-metallic solid minerals (SSM).

Office work, petrographic study of thin sections, polished sections, study of placer samples;

preparation of design documentation and reports;

Methodological support of work at any stage;

Solving complex and non-standard problems of subsoil users;

Visits to sites, sampling, description of mine workings and core, maintenance of technical documentation; etc.

2. Geological study of the pre-Jurassic complex and sedimentary cover of the West Siberian platform and other basins.

Study of core, sampling, laboratory and analytical support, methodological support of works.

3. Mineralogical study of ores, process samples, concentrates, slags and technogenic mineral raw materials.

Full range of mineralogical and petrographic studies;

petrographic description of thin sections, mineragraphic description of polished sections, study of mineralogy of placer samples and ore concentrates;

determination of minerals-concentrators of useful components, distribution of impurities, study of morphology and ontogeny of mineral aggregates;

process testing, preparation of conclusions and recommendations, preparation of reports and projects, etc.
