Research interests

Detailing of modern patterns of weather and climatic parameters spatial and temporal distribution to characteristics to obtain reliable comparative estimates of regional changes. Due to the fact that under the conditions of ongoing warming, there is uncertainty in the estimates of regional differences in the amplitude and direction of the climate influence on the water balance, vegetation and soil parameters, the relevance of the research consists in the possibility of clarifying the methodological approaches to optimizing the economic impact on the environment
