International Cooperation
Scientists of the Institute participate in the following international programs:
• The behavior of stable (O, C) and radiogenic (Sr) isotopes in the shells of Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian brachiopods of the United States, the Russian Platform and the Urals (together with the Geochemistry Laboratory, A & M University, Texas, USA).
• Isotope dating of the stage limits of the lower Permian system of the Western Ural (with the International Institute for the Study of the Permian System, Idaho, USA).
• The origin of zircons from ultramafic-mafic intrusions of the Noril'sk province (Russia) and other ultramafic massifs using Lu-Hf isotope systematics; the study of platinum-group element deposits using Re-Os isotope systematics (in cooperation with the Australian Research Center for Geochemical Evolution and Metallogeny of Continents, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia).
• The study of geochemistry of the third seismic layer of the ocean (under the guidance of the Joint International Ocean Drilling Program).
