Main completed research projects:

   "Ecological and economical basis for efficient nature management and development of a regional complex of mineral raw materials" (2004-2006).

   The project estimates the efficiency level, reserve potential and promising ways for nature management, multiple use and ecologization of production in the regional complex of mineral raw resources.

   The underlying philosophy of the project is that under transition to sustainable development the ability to point out and fulfill the synergetic effect of multiple use of resources together with higher efficiency of economic methods for nature management are the basic criteria of economic growth.

   The objects of inquiry are natural (mineral) raw resources and resource processing enterprises, ecological management system and its instruments.

   The subjects of investigation are peculiarities of improved multiple use of mineral raw recourses in the region. Also - theoretical and methodical problems of economic coordination mechanism for ecologic and socio-economic concerns of the regional mineral raw resources complex.
