To date, certain experience in paleolandscape research has been accumulated in various regions of the country. The research is based on the central principles of classical paleogeography. Large-scale paleolandscape mapping was carried out by the authors on the basis of combined landscape and archaeological studies in the key areas of the forest zone of the European territory of Russia. Paleolandscape mapping is based on the combined use of the results of paleolandscape reconstructions, detailed palynological analy...

The present research (landscape, landscape-historical and landscape-ecological) was carried out to determine the landscape-ecological potential of Moscow for the purpose of territorial planning and with a view to developing proposals for the balanced and effective urban development, for ensuring the comfort of living for the city’s population, and protection of the environment and objects of cultural heritage.

Historical mapping of landscapes shows the characteristics of the relationship between man and landscape in certain chronosections and gives the opportunity to analyze and reconstruct the dynamics of nature management, environmental situations and the anthropogenic evolution of landscapes. An analysis of the development of the relationship between man and specific landscapes, studies of the dynamics of nature management of the old habitable territories are currently impossible without landscape-historical mapping ...

Effective territorial organization of Moscow and the rational use of its territory are impossible without taking into account the natural component of the city as well as the properties and potential of the landscape complexes that integrate all natural features in specific areas. The formation of the ecological framework of the city is particularly important. It should be a single system of interrelated and complementary components that make up a single environmental space: habitat-forming cores (junctions), ecol...

Complex historical and scientific research of ancient waterways has been carried out by the Department of the History of Earth Sciences of the Institute of the History of Natural Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in conjunction with the Geography Department of Moscow State University since 2003. Based on expeditionary research, collection and analysis of archival and published materials on historical waterways: ?From the Varangians to the Greeks? and the Great Volga, Mariinskaya, North-Dvi...
