Description: 
The Institute studies the geology and natural resources of the 
Aretic and Antarctic. Scientists here are compiling the first geological 
map of the Arctic and sub-Arctic zones of the world. They have also embarked 
on the compilation of 24 geological maps of individual areas and islands of 
the Antarctic, and in 190 they published a map of recent tectonics in the 
Antarctic continent. Seismic work is also being conducted on the Arctic 
Ocean with the aim of studying the thickness of sedimentary deposits. 
The Institute had published 119 volumes of its Trudy by 1961.

Description: 
The Institute, in developing better rubber materials, has utilized 
radiation vulcanization, plasticizers, polydimethylsiloxanes, and aging to 
improve base compounds. 
Conveyor belts using new rubber fabrics have been developed. In 
this connection, the staff has been active in automation and mechanization 
programs. Heat-resistant rubbers have been developed for machine applications.
