The main lines of activity of the Department of Geothermy and Modern Geodynamics:
- In the field of geothermy:
- experimental measurements of temperature in wells;
- measurements of thermoconductivity of rocks;
- determination of heat flows in wells;
- measurement of complete complex of geothermic parameters (temperature, geothermic gradient, thermoconductivity) in marine sediments;
- thermal field mapping;
- studies of the nature of thermal flows of springs;
- elaboration of procedures for interpretation of thermal flow analysis on the base of analytical
and numerical solutions of the thermal conductivity equations;
- simulation of thermal field and construction of geothermic models of lithosphere;
- elaboration of procedures for simulation of thermal evolution of sedimentary basins and construction
of models of evolution for special basins;
- studies of energy balance of geodynamic processes and of role of thermal energy in the processes
of gas emissions, mud volcanism and seismic activity.
- In the field of modern movements:
- generalization and mapping of the data on modern vertical and horizontal movements of the Earth's crust;
- studies of the nature of modern movements of the Earth's crust.
In the field of deep-seated structure:
- creation of models of deep-seated structure according to the complex of geophysicsl data on the
Ukrainian Shield, the Donbas and the Dnepro-Donets depression, Carpathians.
