We have five main subjects
1) Diversity of TAIGA controlled by various geologic and geophysical structure of the oceanic crust
2) Impact of TAIGA on the Ocean chemistry and microbiology
3) Evolution of TAIGA considered from geochronology and molecular genetics
4) Microbial processes interacted with physico-chemical environment of TAIGA
5) Experimental simulation of chemical processes of TAIGA
