The laboratory was established in 2022 to conduct research in ecology and geography. In its approaches, the team merges experimental methods of ground-based measurements of ecosystem functioning with the math-based methods of remote sensing (RS) data processing.
The main goal is to develop a set of approaches for RS data processing that will allow to use them most effectively as a source of information about landscape structure and organisation. Thereby, the key research focus of the lab is to develop methods for:

The key areas of the conference this year were modeling the processes of growth and development of living organisms, the dynamics of populations and communities; modeling of ecological complexity, statistical and spatial modeling; modeling of element cycles and matter flows in ecosystems, including at the regional and global levels; mathematical models in soil science and landscape science; mathematical models as a tool for supporting decision-making in problems of managing biological resources, solving climate change problems and rational nature management.

From 2 to 7 September in the Central Forest Reserve (Tver region) a school for young researchers “Actual methods of landscape structure analysis based on remote sensing data, digital elevation models and field data” organized by the International Laboratory of Landscape Ecology was held. The School was attended by 24 students from 10 regions of the country, including three students from Belarus. The speakers of the School were the staff of the Laboratory, the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution Problems (A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution Problems, Moscow). A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution (IPEE RAS), Institute of Geography RAS (IG RAS), Central Forest Reserve.
