Noting that both in our country and around the world carried out important research in the field of mud volcanoes, A.Aliyev underlined that, new scientific results in relation to issues concerning their education were achieved on a global scale, geographical distribution, as well as links with oil and gas content and seismicity.

He noted that, studies carried out by employees of the department headed by him in collaboration with scientists from the Ukraine National Academy of Sciences, are devoted to the comparative analysis of the problem of mud volcanism in both countries, in particular mineralogy of volcanic emissions.

Formed by the natural way gold, silver, lead, copper and other elements that were found in the Black Sea mud volcanoes and in the Kerch Peninsula, as a result of the study of accessory mineralization volcanic breccia, creating a need for extensive research in the same direction in Azerbaijan.

The scientist said that he would also investigated possibilities of application of geothermal energy in the Western area for alternative energy, etc.

Further action was taken on the participation of members of the department in the journal "News of ANAS" (a series of Earth Sciences) and "Reports of ANAS", the creation of the Department of Education at the Institutes of Geography, Geology and Geophysics, as well as submit a petition to the Presidency to hold a 90-year anniversary of Academician Mithad Abbasov.
