Main scientific achievements Studied distribution of GPS velocities and kinematic model of the Caucasus-Caspian region; revealed the Caucasus block and its counter-clockwise motion; studied regularity of the distribution of strain rate on the basis of GPS data; developed numerical analysis method for the interpretation of the gravitational field with the Hartley transforms; plotted 2D and 3D gravitational models of the deeper structure of Azerbaijan; studied law-dependency of the non-tidal  and tidal variations of gravity force; the time dynamics of the gravity signal, earth crust deformation processes, is investigated using the power  spectrum method and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis,  revealed the possibility of generation of internal waves of Kelvin-Helmholtz in the layers of Upper Mantle; studied processes of gravitational instability in the sedimentary layers of the Azerbaijan oil and gas areas; proved the possibility of the convectional motions in the sedimentary layer and suggested the convectional model of hydrocarbon migration; revealed the existence of decompression zone beneath the mud volcano by gravitational modeling; studied the fractal properties of the earthquakes and deeper faults; applied statistical methods for the investigation of geophysical processes.
