In 1945 Ivanova became scientific secretary of the Quaternary Research Commission of the AN-SSSR. She was the editor of the Quaternary Research Commission's bulletin . Her research interests were the stratigraphy , geomorphology and geology of the Stone Age sites in the Dniester region and the stratigraphy of the sediments of the Upper Pleistocene of the European part of the USSR in correlation with the sediments of Western Europe . She created a detailed stratigraphic timescale of the development of the Paleolithic cultures from the Moustérien to the Neolithic . In 1963 she was in GIN with distinction the candidate exams in English in Quaternary geology and geomorphology. In November 1966, she successfully defended her dissertation at the GIN on the geological age of fossil humans for her doctorate as a candidate in geological- mineralogical sciences.

Ivanova organized the All-Russian Quaternary Geology Conferences. She was a member of the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) and took part in their congresses: Warsaw 1961, Boulder (Colorado) 1965, Paris 1969 and Moscow 1982. She worked in INQUA in the permanent commission for loess stratigraphy and was Vice-chair of the Commission on Paleoecology of Fossil Humans.
