You have the opportunity to implement researches in such areas as:
• Global ecology and biodiversity (tree species diversity; time-change in biodiversity trends; decomposition across biomes; etc.).
• Impacts of beaver dams on C-cycle in the Ob river basin.
• Primary ecological successions on the melting profile of the Small Aktru glacier (Altai Mountains).
• Siberian pine’s growth under climate change (a dendrochronological analysis).
• Treeline shifting northward in Russian mountains.
• Recent trends in deforestation and fire across Russia.
• Studies about Snow leopard, ethology, ecology and conservation biology (Altai and Tibet), and many others.
