Integral methods in complex analysis and algebraic geometry
Krasnoyarsk Scientific School carrying out the multidimensional complex analyses was formed in 1965 under the direction of L. A. Aizenberg and A. P. Yuzhakov; the first one directed the integral representations for holomorphic functions and the second was at the head of the theory of multidimensional residues mentioned in the works of E. Martinelli and J.-P. Leray.
During the years of the school formation the basic principles of the theory of integral representations and deductions have been established, integrated methods were linked with algebraic and differential equations. These studies are reflected in monographs by L. A. Aizenberg and A. P. Yuzhakov; A. K. Tsikh; A. M. Kytmanov; N. N. Tarkhanov; L. S. Maergoiz.
Fundamental results were drawn in complex convexity, which were subsequently used and expanded to the developed theory in the monographs of Scandinavian mathematicians L. Hörmander; M. Andersson, M. Passare and R. Sigursson. The stability problem of two-dimensional digital recursive filters was also solved.
Scientific fields and research issues
It is widely known that one of the most popular of integral transformations — Fourier transform — plays an important role in the issue of showing the dualistic relations between the wave and the corpuscular theory of light. All the related integral transforms (by Laplace, Mellin, Cauchy and also much later Radon transform describing the principle of modern tomograph operating) have similar properties as, essentially, they are functionals in spaces of other functional objects defined on manifolds.
The effectiveness of integral transformations use is particularly evident within the complex analysis, where, due to the Cauchy-Poincare theorem, i. e. theory of residues, the possibility of exact or asymptotic computation of integrals is greatly enhanced. The theory of residues, which stands at the crossroads of complex analysis and algebraic geometry plays an important role in these maths fields and in their applications too: in the theory of commutative algebra duality, in the study of vector fields, differential and difference equations.
Traditionally, two approaches are mainly considered in the theory of multidimensional residues: homological (the theory of integration of closed differential forms over cycles) and stream-based (based on the integration of finite test forms).
Both approaches are based on two things: the first is the construction of residual nuclei issue, and the second is the issue of natural dual cycles to specified nuclei selection.

Environmental biophysics
Among the first academic scientific schools that were created in Krasnoyarsk and received the world recognition, the School of Environmental Biophysics was founded by the research of Professor Terskova and Professor Gitelzon, Acting member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Subsequently it was developed by I. I. Gitelzon into modern school of Biophysics and Biotechnology of supraorganism systems.

The Zotino Tall Tower Observation Facility (ZOTTO) is a climatic research station in the Siberian taiga in the proximity of Zotino, Russia, established and operated by the Max Planck Society and the Sukachev Institute of Forest, it serves as a long-term observing platform to be operated for at least 30 years.
Far from human influences, researchers aim to determine how the concentration of greenhouse gases, aerosols, and the rising temperatures of the terrestrial atmosphere affect each other mutually.
The heart of the station is a 304-metre-high (997 ft) tower on which precision instruments measure the concentration of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. The measurement data are processed directly in the station at the foot of the tower and then transferred to the Institute of Forest, in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, as well as to the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany.
The station has been operational since September 2006. It extended the project Terrestrial Carbon Observing System and was funded by the 5th framework program of the European Union, uniting 8 European and 4 Russian partners. A main conclusion of the project is that Siberian forests constitute a substantially smaller carbon sink than so far assumed.
