Main research directions:
- Seismic regime study of the Carpathian-Balkan region, seismic macrozoning of the territory of the Republic of Moldova, seismic microzoning of urban areas, seismotectonics and geodynamics.
- Study of regional geology, lithology and stratigraphy of geological formations and minerals deposits tectonics and neotectonics;
- Hydrodynamics and regime investigations of ground water in the Republic of Moldova, the ground water reserves and quality, hydrologic prognosis and riverbed processes of small rivers;
- Study of the geochemical anthropogenic processes on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, improvement of geochemical monitoring, quantitative prognosis of environmental pollution, elaboration of methods for pollution localization and reduction.
Main scientific achievements:
