Main scientific achievements 

Macroseismic fields of strong earthquakes that occurred in Azerbaijan from 2003 to 2016 were identified, and focal parameters were determined.

A catalog of macroseismic data from strong earthquakes that occurred in historical and modern times, covering the period from 427 to 2016, was compiled.

- Based on comprehensive seismological and geophysical studies, two new potentially hazardous landslide zones were identified on the Bayil slope, landslide mass parameters and the risk of landslide development were determined.
