Within the scientific areas budget and commercial agreement work ordered by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation as well as researches awarded a grant by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research are carried out every year. The scientific school of geo-information science by Professor N.G. Markov was officially recognized to be a leading Russian school and was funded by the Russian President grant ‘Support of Leading Scientific Schools of Russia’ in 2000-2002.

Every year the teaching staff and postgraduates publish over 40 articles and theses on research results in domestic and foreign issues, make 12-15 reports in Russian and international scientific conferences. Over the period of 1997-2008 a large number of reports were presented abroad at conferences in the USA, South Korea, Italy, Holland, Spain, Brazil, Finland, the Czech Republic, etc.
