SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS
After graduating from the Rostov State University, Vladimir studied hydrothermal ore deposits and their spatial / genetic relationships with igneous rocks, the evolution of magmatic systems, made a forecast of new ore deposits in the Russian Far East. At the same time, he was interested in the origin of the Earth's biosphere, as well as in some aspects of astrobiology (including planetology), which became an official direction of his research after moving to the ICARP FEB RAS in 1994. Since the end of the 90s, in parallel with the theoretical development of a hydrothermal scenario for the origin of the biosphere, he began to carry out field and experimental studies of modern hydrothermal systems in the Russian Far East (including Kamchatka). This research directs to exploration of organic matter in thermal waters and the study of oscillation modes of the physicochemical parameters of the migrating fluid. To date, the most important result is the elaborated concept of thermodynamic inversion (or the inversion concept). Its key thesis is that the transformation of a cluster of prebiotic microsystems into the primary population of the simplest life forms (“subcells”) on the early Earth occurred through the efficient (enhanced and targeted) response to high-frequency fluctuations in physicochemical parameters in a hydrothermal environment.
