Department of Geology and Geodynamics

The main directions of study:

Development of methodologies for the detection of rare and trace elements in the ocean, subsequent to their concentration in water and sulphide minerals, as indicators of ore deposits.
Rare elements in the ocean water and bottom sediments as indicators of ore formation.
Hydrochemistry and isotopic composition of S, C, O and H in the water of anaerobic marine basins.
Numerical modeling of biohydrochemical processes.
Geochemistry of sedimentation and ore formation in oceans and seas.
