Graduated from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Department of Geography, subdepartment of geomorphology, in 1986. In 2006 uphold thesisof PhD in engineering sciences on the subject «Evaluation technique of the railroad natural-technical system in the erosion hazard conditions using aerospace sounding». In present time holds the positions of Leading Research Scientist in the RAS Institute of Geography (since 2013) and in the RAS Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth(part-timebasis). «Geomorphology» journal editorial board member. Associate contractor of the maps of General seismic zonation of Russia charting (OSR-2012, OSR-2016). Contributor on the works of the estimation of massive buildings seismic hazard: nuclear power plants (Leningradskaya, Kol’skaya, Novovoronezhskaya, Bilibinskaya, Kalininskaya, Balakovskaya, Beloyarskaya and others), pipelines (ESPO pipeline, South Stream pipeline), bridge crossings and airdromes, «Vostochny» cosmodrome, 2014 Sochi Olympic sites; works of the exodynamic hazard estimation for massive engineering structures including railroads and pipelines; works of resource-geomorphologic estimation of developing territories (New Moskow).

exogenous geologic processes hazard estimation, anthropogenic geomorphology and natural-technical systems, morphotectonics and seismic hazard estimation, remote sensing methods appliance in geomorphology and geology.
