He proposed a new classification system for the fauna of the armpods in the Urals, on Novaya Zemlya , in Siberia , in the Far East , in the Donbass and in Central Asia . He also examined moss animals and ammonites of the Upper Paleozoic . His most notable works were the geological studies and geodetic measurements of work in Vyatka basin (1917-1921), and later in the basin of the Chusovaya and its tributaries and in the southern Urals.
