Research programs

Work in Progress in the field of Geology:

  1. Early Proterozoic evolution of paleoclimates (based on materials from the Baltic and Canadian Shiolds)
  2. Global correlation of rapakivi granites and associated rocks
  3. Rahja-Ladoga zone
  4. Basic-ultrabasic magmatism, its geodynamic nature and metallogeny in the Fennoscandian Shield
  5. Precambrian dyke swarms
  6. Evolution and ore potential of alkaline magmatism in the Fennoscandian Shield
  7. Termination of the Pleistocene period

Projects proposed to be implemented in cooperation with other universities: 

  1. Gold potential of Karelian Archean greenstone belts
  2. Fennoscandian comatities
  3. Geological and technological problems in the study of superpure quartz and feldspar raw materials
  4. Paleoseismology and paleoseismodislocation in Finland and Karelia
  5. Proterozoic correlation and paleogeography in SE Fennoscandia
  6. Unique Precambrian geological localities in eastern Fennoscandia 
  7. Correlation of geological units and the Precambrian tectonic evolution of Europe and North America
