- taxonomical and ecological analyses of microbial communities, spatial distribution of microorganisms in salty and freswater mountain lakes and ephemeral streams
- effects of postvolcanic activity on microbial life
- modeling the microbial structure and life in the dry high-mountain environments
- microbial adaptation for extreme environments: for the high, cold, dry, UV-radiated areas
- microorganisms, as the indicators of the local processes of climate change
