Description: 
This institute consists of the following units: Division of 
Mineralogy and Geochemistry; Division of Mineralogy with a Laboratory of 
Experimental Mineralogy and a Laboratory of Authigenous Mineralogy; Division 
of Geochemistry; Division of Comparative Lithology with a Laboratory of 
Comparative Lithology; Laboratory of High-Molecular Compounds; Laboratory 
of X-Ray Chemistry; and Section of Technical and Experimental Petrography. 
It has investigated methods of studying oxidation kinetics and thermal- 
oxidation stability of petroleum products, an isodynamic magnetron separator 
by which aluminiferrous, suspended materials can be separated, seismic 
activity and structure of Kamchatka and the northern part of the Kuril 
isochain, and chromatographic separation of titanium from columbium and 
tantalum. The Institute also has studied the geology of diamond deposits, 
geochemistry, seismology, theory of lithogenesis, and ultrasonic rock 
erushing. In 1959, the Institute prepared a tectonic map of the Arctic. 
The Institute grants the Candidate's and Doctor's Degrees and 
publishes a Trudy.
