Kazakhstan and the Altay regions. The Institute also has studied the pre- 
and early-Paleozoic periods of Central Kazakhstan, and studied in detail the 
water resources of certain parts of the Republic. Recently, research has 
been concentrated on the development of scientific fundamentals of metallo- 
genesis. A number of rare- and nonferrous-metal occurrences were uncovered. 
Considerable data on the regularity of titanium ores in the southeastern part 
of the Turgery depression were obtained. Studies were made on the interphase 
isotopic exchange of uranium-234 and uranium-238. The Institute publishes a 
Trudy.

Description: 
This institute has a spectral-analysis laboratory which analyzes 
rare-earth elements. The most outstanding contribution the Institute has 
made is the development of the structural-petrographic map of the Ukrainian 
erystalline massif. Other studies have concerned high-frequency seismic 
prospecting to detect the metamorphic rock complex of the Bilozerskyy iron- 
ore deposits, and the physical and magnetic properties of stone meteorites. 
A small seismic device for geological engineering and hydrogeological 
explorations was developed by the Institute. 
Graduate training is offered in the geology of ore deposits, 
stratigraphy, paleontology, geotectonics, and geochemistry. The Institute 
publishes Trudy Seriya Geofizicheskaya.
