Correlation map of the terrestrial heat flow density distribution (colour scale in mW/m²) and lithosphere thickness distribution (in km) both from geothermal data (military green solid and dashed isolines) and from magnetotelluric data at the determination positions (blue colour stars and values). 

  • Approaches of the construction of the primary material models and of the models of tectonic elements
  • Methodology of the solution of the inverse problems
  • Analytical and numerical solutions of mathematical-physical problems of the stationary and also the transient heat transfer within the inhomogeneous 1D - 3D medium
  • Development of the software packages
  • The application of the geothermal modeling methods for the investigation of the lithosphere thermal state in the regions under study
  • The construction of the graphic outputs in the form of the vertical and horizontal sections as well as the maps of distribution of both the temperature and heat flow density components on various geological boundaries
