Main research directions / areas
RESEARCH:
Sustainable mountain development (SMD) in USSR/Russia and World (from 1983)
- Environment, resource and socio-ecological mountain systems assessment. Issues of sustainable mountain development Russia.
- Transboundary mountain regions transformation under Global Change impacts on regional and local scales (Altai-Sayan, Caucasus, Central Asia)).
- Socio-ecological monitoring of changes in mountain areas (UNESCO Biosphere Reserves as test/learning territories for SMD)
- New paradigm of SMD based on connectivity conservation & development approach. Vulnerability, resilience and adaptation issues of mountain landscapes and socio-ecological systems on Global Change (Altai-Sayan eco-region). Academic knowledge integration in development practice based on transdisciplinary approach.
- Diversity of mountain environment and mountains cultures / economics – diversity of SMD models.
