Laboratory staff members Robert Sandlersky and Anastasia Baybar presented their research findings at a scientific conference «The Theory of Geosystems: History and Modernity», which was held from 16 to 18 June 2025 at the V.B. Sochava Institute of Geography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Irkutsk.

Conference participants
The key topics of the conference were:
1) Viktor Borisovich Sochava – geographer, geobotanist, cartographer, educator, science organiser, memories of Academician V.B. Sochava;
2) the theory of geosystems as a theoretical and methodological basis for the development of the concept of human co-creation with nature;
3) the theory and methodology of geobotanical mapping and regionalisation;
4) mapping and geoinformation modelling of geosystems for the purposes of planning rational nature management. A total of 45 reports were presented at the conference, devoted not only to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the development of the teachings of V.B. Sochava and his followers on geosystems, but also on modern methods of mapping and modelling geosystems and their individual components based on GIS and remote sensing, as well as the applied use of research results for the organisation of rational nature management.
