1. studied mineral waters NE and NW slopes of the Greater Caucasus;

2. on the instructions manual RCSS ANAS (ОМГЭ ИГАНА) during 1979-2014 years. Azerbaijan organized seismogeochemical research;

3. with the assistance of management estab-lished a network of fixed stations all-year-round monitoring of fluids seismogeochemical (SGCH) and seismohydrogeodynamical (SHGD) methods;

4. The automated technology is created (Ke-ramova, 2004-2011) “OPERATIVE FORE-CAST EARTHQUAKES ON THE SEISMO-GEOCHEMICAL FIELDS, being tested and refined to the present. The aim of work - daily operational evaluation of seismic conditions and seismic risk in the Caspian Sea, in Azerbaijan and the border regions of neighboring countries (Russia-Dagestan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Iran) anomalies in the fields SFGD Azerbaijan. The technology is composed of 4 rapid calculation methods:

a) Rapid method of detection of anomalies (formula) for daily data processing (242 values) SFGD monitoring for rapid assessment of the seismic situation in the region.

b) Rapid method of calculating the "range-interval" magnitude (formula) predicted earth-quake.

c) Rapid methods for identifying the seismic source on the anomalies in the fields SFGD fluids. It allows to set two parameters of the focal zone, preparing for the implementation of: a) "range" location (interval coordinates); b) "range-interval" time, which was before the implementation of the predicted earthquake in the range 1÷16 days.

d) Empirically set to "range-interval" time prediction of seismic events on the anomalies in the fields SFGD fluids. They appear only in the final stage of earthquake preparation for implementation. It is equal to 1÷16 days.

5. With the direct participation (algorithm development, testing programs), created by the software (12 packages) for rapid assessment of seismic conditions and seismic risk in the Caspian Sea, in Azerbaijan and the border regions of neighboring countries (Russia-Dagestan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Iran).

6. Based on the above method first created "Atlas identification of seismic sources for flu-ids SFGD fields of Azerbaijan" to the Caspian Sea and the Anatolian-Iranian-Caucasus tectonic block (1986-2014).

7. Through the use of rapid identification me-thod of earthquake location by informative SFGD earthquake precursors, refined structure of individual seismogenic zones (Caspian Sea, Shamakhi, Ismayilli, Talysh-Azerbaijanian part and NE Iran):

а) earthquake sources in the waters of the Middle and Southern Caspian spatially distributed within six (6) seismogenic zones;

b) in Shamakhi and Ismayilli set 6 seismicmicro zones;

c) in Talish set 5 seismicmicro zones.

8. As a result of work performed, a new di-rection of research - "Scanning seismogenic zones SFGD fields."

9. Developed a new line of research - prevention of geological accidents during drilling in the Caspian Sea based on the use of technology “OPERATIVE FORECAST EARTHQUAKES ON THE SEISMOGEOCHEMICAL FIELDS”

All these studies SFGD "Geochemistry" Department continues.
