He also worked as a Guest Researcher for the Niels Bohr Institute (Copenhagen University, Denmark) (1998-1999). His research interests are associated with different aspects of drilling and sampling technologies in ice, permafrost and marine sediments; ice properties and dynamics of ice sheets; environmental problems in the polar regions. He has taken part in eight field expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica, and was involved in drilling the deepest hole in ice (3769 m), at Vostok Station, Antarctica. He is the author of more than 250 publications. Currently he leads several drilling projects in the Arctic and Antarctica. See less
