Department of Monitoring and Research Expeditions

Main activities are:

• Conducting comprehensive studies of the main elements of the hydrological regime.
• Improving methods for calculating the runoff and sedimentation of rivers and temporary streams under various global climate change conditions.
• Assessing the intensity of planar and gully scour when there is an anthropogenic impact: slope ploughing, deforestation, and construction of engineering facilities.
• Improving methods for sampling bottom sediments and laboratory analyzes.
• Carrying out research expeditions to the territories poorly studied in hydrological terms.

Field testing new hydrometeorological instruments.
