Research equipment at the Faculty
Under the support of Russian Fund of Basic Research, various
international research programmes the strong equipment
base of the Faculty was created:
- Geological and sedimentological survey: oil products
analyzers, fluriometers, adsortptive spectrometers,
fluorescent analyzers, spectrophotometers, element
analyzers etc
- Geodesic survey: 3-d dimensional scanners etc.
- Hydrological survey: Doppler velocity-discharge profilers
(ADCP), current meters, etc.
- Meteorological survey: Doppler acoustic atmospheric
