Geochemistry

We conduct research in the field of paleomagnetism and magnetism of rocks (petromagnetism), minerals and materials, including in such areas as archaeomagnetism, paleomagnetism of sinter formations of caves (speleothems). We carry out studies of the chemical and mineral (phase) composition of rocks and minerals using scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy, as well as a Raman spectrometer. We study the fresh cleavage and structure of rocks. We perform track analysis (dating) of apatite and zircon. We implement a full range of sample preparation: we manufacture petrographic slates and anshlifes, epoxy checkers and isolate monomineral fractions. A special area of the CCP is geomechanical and petrophysical research, which includes the study of patterns and mechanisms of deformation of rocks in various conditions, the study of patterns of propagation of elastic waves and other physical fields in rocks at various scales in relation to their composition and structure, the study of filtration-capacitance, elastic and strength properties of rocks in various thermobaric conditions, the study of mineralogical and chemical composition, internal structure and microstructure of rocks, the study of well cores and other rock samples for petrophysical and geomechanical modeling in application to the tasks of exploration, development and development of hydrocarbon deposits and solid minerals, the development and optimization of standardized methods for determining filtration-capacitive, physico-mechanical and the strength parameters of rocks in the thermobaric conditions of the formation and in atmospheric conditions.

The laboratory was established in 1992, and has become one of the leading laboratories in the world, which determined the transition to electronic publications in science. We carry out editorial and technical preparation and publication of two online journals - the Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, the Bulletin of the ONZ RAS and the serial publication of Research on Geoinformatics. Proceedings of the GC RAS.
