Research conducted at the Department covers the following areas:

• environmental monitoring of environment components and complexes;
• analysis of environment fractal properties;
• agroecology;
• environmental meteorology and ecology of atmospheric air.

The Department organizes an annual conference All-Ukrainian Scientific Taliev Readings at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The materials of the conference are published in the Environment Protection compendium of articles.

Faculty members of the Department are actively engaged in career-oriented activities such as:

• preparing Open House Days, Alumni Day,
