Current Research Activities
Studies of technical characteristics of gravity instruments, development and modification of the technique for measuring specific increments. Calculating hydrogeological regime, topography and near-surface impact on geophysical parameters. Gravity monitoring and detecting earthquake precursors. On anomaly interpretation of oil and gas fields there was suggested a method to find gravitational effect by successive elimination of the effects of individual parts of the geological cross-section and a priori information on well survey.
