The paper considers the behavior of total methane content in the atmosphere of Western Siberia obtained using the global chemical transport model MOZART-4 (Model for OZone And Related chemical Tracers, version 4). We discuss details of the model configuration for simulation of methane content until the end of the XXI century within the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Boundary conditions at the lower levels of the model (methane content in the surface air layer) was obtained using data from the Earth System Research Laboratories (ESRL) project and the results of the Atmospheric Chemistry-Transport Models (ACTM) for 2007–2010. The methane content in the stratosphere was also defining according to the ACTM results. The climate data used in MOZART-4 is based on the results of the Goddard Earth Observing System, Version 5 (GEOS-5). The modification of the boundary conditions carried out in the work made it possible to reproduce the summer and winter maximum in the annual course of CH4. These results are confirmed by satellite and aircraft observations made on the territory of Western Siberia. It was found that the total methane content in the atmosphere of the studied region (45–65 N, 60–90 E) in 2000–2020 increased with a trend of about 3.5 ± 0.2 ppb/year. In 2000–2006, there is virtually no trend. The increase of CH4 in 2007–2020 has a trend of ∼ 5.0 ± 0.2 ppb/year. The global data obtained as a result of the simulation can be used as initial and boundary conditions of the chemical version of the regional climate model RegCM-CHEM4.

The analysis of geological and geophysical materials in order to study the peculiarities of the geological structure of the Vikulov Formation within the Vodorazdel license area was carried out. The presented factual material makes it possible to characterize the geological structure of the investigated area more informatively and for interpreting of seismic materials. The analysis of geological information (GIS and test results) confirms the approved water–oil contact (WOC) level in the investigated section of the deposit, which makes it possible to recalculate its reserves.

On the basis of author's graphical analysis method, the typification of lake ecosystems transformation scenarios depending on the size of lakes was carried out. It was confirmed that the type of transformation depends not only on size of the lake, but also on the landscape and climatic region in which it is located. The distinctive features of lake ecosystems transformation types in the European part of Russia and in Western Siberia were analyzed and compared.

Zoya Ilyinichna Glezer is the largest Russian micropaleontologist, a specialist in siliceous microfossils — Cenozoic diatoms and silicoflagellates. Since the 1960s, she systematically studied Paleogene siliceous microfossils from various regions of the country and therefore was an indispensable participant in the development of unified stratigraphic schemes for Paleogene siliceous plankton of various regions of the USSR. She made a great contribution to the creation of the newest Paleogene schemes in the south of European Russia and Western Siberia, to the correlations of the Paleogene deposits of the Kara Sea.

The directions and results of many years of research on the development and prevalence of diseases on perennial leguminous grasses (meadow clover, pannonian clover, sainfoin, sowing alfalfa) in Western Siberia are presented. A whole range of diseases was revealed, the intensity of development, which depends on weather conditions, resistance of varieties, plant age, etc.
