Scientific and educational achievements of the department

Year(s) of work on the topic	Full name	Theme, achievement
1993-2014	D.G. Zamolodchikov, D.V. Karelin	A conceptual model has been proposed to explain the climate-dependent shifts in the carbon budget of the tundra;
1999-2010	V.N. Maksimov, A.P. Levich, N.G. Bulgakov	A new approach has been proposed for developing the principles of environmental regulation of pollution, called the "concept of environmental tolerance"
1980-2014	A.P. Levich	A variational model of consumption and growth for ecological communities has been developed. The model has been tested on laboratory and natural phytoplankton communities. The model makes it possible to calculate the abundance of species in a community, predict growth-limiting environmental resources, and control the structure of a community.
1995-2014	A.P. Levich, V.N. Maksimov, N.G. Bulgakov, D.V. Risnik.	An in_situ technology for monitoring the natural environment based on field data has been developed. The technology makes it possible to calculate the limits of the norm for biological indicators of the state of ecosystems and for environmental factors influencing this state. The limits of the norm can play the role of environmental quality standards, the boundaries of ranges in quality classifiers, quality targets and adaptive analogues of the background values ​​of factors.
1998-2014	L.V. Polischuk with colleagues	Based on the analysis of the birth rate of planktonic crustaceans Daphnia A new method of comparative assessment of the impact on the population of the pressure of predators (the "top" effect) and the lack of food (the "bottom" effect) has been proposed. The results were published in the international journal Oikos (Polishchuk L.V., Vijverberg J., Voronov D.A., Mooij W.M. 2013. How to measure top-down vs bottom-up effects: a new population metric and its calibration on Daphnia. Oikos. V. 122. No. 8. P. 1177-1186).
1999-2010	A.T. Terekhin, E.V. Budilova	Series of works "Optimization modeling of life cycle evolution". From the point of view of evolutionary optimization of the life cycle, it was possible to explain such fundamental patterns of the life cycle as the exponential increase in mortality with age, described by the empirical law of Gompertz, sexual dimorphism in human life expectancy, patterns of changes in body weight of newborns on a global scale. Research results published in Acta Oecologica, Behavioral Ecology, Human Biology, Evolutionary Ecology Research, J. Evol. Biol., International Journal for Parasitology, Proc. R. Soc. Lond., B, « Journalgeneralbiology»
2002-2009	A.T. Terekhin with co-authors	A new method for testing statistical hypotheses based on binomial modifications of the Bonferroni multiple test has been developed. The results of the research were published in the Journal of General Biology, the Journal of General Biology and BMC Bioinformatics.
2008	A.T. Terekhin with co-authors	A mathematical model of the subjective perception of time by a person has been constructed: the phenomenon of “reminiscent failure” has been discovered, which allows explaining the so-called “telescopic effect” of the subjective temporal perception of past events, i.e., as it were, the approach of old events in time and the removal of close ones; the model makes it possible to explain the phenomenon of subjective acceleration of the flow of time in old age, and also predicts the possibility of the existence of a "collective reminiscent failure".
2006-2009	A.T. Terekhin, E.V. Budilova	A neural network model of changes in the cognitive properties of the brain during the life cycle has been constructed and studied. Based on this model, the processes of differentiation and integration in the development of the brain, the properties of wisdom and cognitive flexibility are explained, and a hypothesis is put forward about the “varifocality” of thinking. The results were published in the journals "Biophysics", "Psychological Research", "Journal of Higher Nervous Activity", "Psychological Journal"
2012-2014	V.S. Rumak	Search for integral indicators of the stability of a dioxin-contaminated environment that is safe for human health
1990-2014	A.K. Yuzbekov	The hypothesis of the plasticity of photosynthetic carbon metabolism in plants of different ecological groups was experimentally substantiated.

The Faculty of Soil Science is a relatively young and dynamically developing faculty of Moscow University and the largest educational institution in this field in the system of university education in the country. The faculty trains soil scientists and ecologists - specialists in the study and rational use of land resources, environmental assessment of the state of the natural environment. The need for such specialists is great in various spheres of life and economic activity of society, especially in the conditions of new economic relations.

Soil science studies the patterns of formation and functioning of soils and the soil cover of the Earth, their ecological functions in the biosphere and their role in natural and cultural landscapes.

Soil science is closely related to ecology - a science that learns complex relationships between various components of nature, the impact of human society on these relationships and on natural objects, therefore the Faculty of Soil Science trains in two specialties: "soil science" and "ecology".

About 450 students and 110 graduate students study at the faculty. Paid educational programs "Assessment and management of land resources" and "Soil and landscape design" were launched.

Training in the specialty "soil science" is based on courses in soil science, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, agrochemistry, etc. A significant part of the study time is devoted to special courses taught by departments and the preparation of course and diploma papers. Much attention is paid to the study of the foundations of informatics, mathematical modeling of natural and especially soil processes; students receive deep skills in working on personal computers, master modern information technologies.

The education in the field of soil science received at the faculty allows graduates to work in research institutions and industrial organizations, in the business sector, as well as to engage in teaching activities in higher and secondary educational institutions.

The most important task of soil science is the assessment of land resources. At present, in the conditions of commercial circulation of certain categories of land, this task becomes especially relevant. Its solution requires determining the quality of the soil, a qualified economic and environmental assessment, and, finally, determining its value. On a national scale, faculty graduates are involved in the development and implementation of the land cadastre.

Soil science serves as the basis for the organization of rational land use. Knowledge of the state of the soil cover is a necessary condition for the rational use of land resources and their management, taking into account their economic and environmental assessments - position in the landscape, aesthetic value. An intensively developing direction in this area of ​​application of soil science is soil-landscape design, which aims to create landscapes with specified aesthetic and functional properties. In addition, soil scientists participate in solving issues related to environmental pollution, develop and implement standards for environmental regulation of the state of land resources, natural waters and forests, find out the causes of the greenhouse effect and changes in biological diversity.

Currently, the most relevant for the sustainable development of both our country and the world community as a whole are environmental problems related to human impact on the environment. Many of them threaten an ecological catastrophe. Responding to the demands of the time, the Faculty of Soil Science trains highly qualified specialists in the field of ecology.

The training program for the specialty "Ecology" provides for the study of the theoretical and practical foundations of such subjects as general and applied ecology, ecology of plants, animals, microorganisms, radiation ecology, toxicology, human ecology, environmental epidemiology, geourban studies, etc. Much attention is paid to the development of modern physics -chemical methods for studying environmental objects, system analysis of biospheric processes, as well as in-depth study of the organization and technology of environmental management, which is based on: environmental expertise, environmental management and marketing, audit, assessment of man-made systems and environmental risk.

A specialist ecologist must be proficient in the most modern methods of studying the state of the environment, be able to predict and model various natural and anthropogenic processes and situations. Therefore, in the learning process, students receive in-depth training in the field of geoinformatics, geoinformation systems and modeling, computer processing of monitoring data and remote sensing.

Particular attention in the learning process is paid to the formation of students' systemic ecological thinking, an integrated approach to solving the problems of human interaction with the environment, the influence of the role of natural and man-made factors on human health.

In accordance with professional interests, students can specialize in the field of environmental expertise, environmental management and audit, chemical and biological environmental control, human ecology and environmental safety.

The training of an ecologist makes it possible to solve the following tasks: to carry out a qualified assessment of environmental impacts, as well as an examination of socio-economic and economic activities in the territories; to carry out ecological expertise of various types of project analysis; design standard measures for nature protection and rational use of natural resources, ensure the environmental safety of various areas of human activity, carry out control and audit activities and environmental audits, professionally organize and implement environmental management systems at enterprises, organizations, as well as in administrative and municipal structures.

Types of professional activity of an ecologist: scientific research in the field of ecology and nature protection in academic institutions and universities; in environmental services of departments, municipalities and state and commercial enterprises, in design organizations, in audit, insurance, marketing companies and services.

Field training plays a very important role in the preparation. The faculty has an educational and experimental soil-ecological center "Chashnikovo" in the Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region, which serves as a base for students' educational and industrial practices. A special place is occupied by the so-called zonal practice, where in the field conditions students get acquainted with the soil and vegetation of the main natural zones of our country.

Important advantages of education received at the Faculty of Soil Science are its fundamental nature and breadth. Students study special disciplines on the basis of thorough training in chemistry, mathematics, computer science, geology and other fundamental sciences. This allows them in the future, in independent scientific or industrial activities, to easily navigate a wide range of issues not only in their chosen specialty, but in related fields of knowledge.

The Faculty of Soil Science is one of the leading scientific centers in its field. Faculty members fruitfully develop major scientific problems in various fields of soil science and ecology. Students are directly involved in scientific research conducted at the faculty.

The faculty has 65 doctors of sciences, 125 candidates of sciences. In total, the faculty employs about 300 employees. Academician of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences V.G. Mineev, full member of the Academy of Natural Sciences I.I. Sudnitsyn, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Natural Sciences M.S. Kuznetsov, honored professors of Moscow University D.S. Orlov and D.G. Zvyagintsev.

The curriculum provides for the preparation of bachelors (training period - 4 years) and masters (training period - 2 years).
