The field of the expertise of the institute covers the application of modern mathematics to seismology and adjacent earth sciences. Taking advantage on traditional interest of Russian "pure" mathematicians to the applied problems, the Institute is built up on the direct involvement of the world-class mathematicians like L.Kantorovich, I.Gelfand, Ya.Sinai and their schools. The institute is known for pioneering results in the fields of earthquake prediction, seismic risk, verification of compliance to nuclea

The journal publishes original scientific articles and reviews on problems of seismotectonics and seismity of the Euro-Asiatic continent, estimates of seismic hazard and seismic zoning, long-term and short-term predictions of earthquakes, physical foundation and techniques of prognosis studies, hardware equipment of work in the field of earthquake prediction. Special attention is paid by the joint Russian-Chinese editing board to articles on problems in the field of geodynamics and global investigation of s
