In the middle of 80-th she begins to be interested in studies of the upper structure of the Earth by the use of surface wave data. She works in two directions: theoretical studies of surface wave propagation in laterally inhomogeneous models, and tomography problems – reconstruction of lateral variations of the Earth crust and upper mantle from surface wave data.

The more significant contributions of her research may be summarized as follows: Effect of hypergenic processes on the distribution of trace metals among soil minerals, Calculation of an index of weathering of parent rocks, Modification of the method for soil solution extraction, Relationships between trace elements in soil solution and their contents in plants, Impact of soil chemical properties on the distribution and forms of trace elements in soils, Method for the calculation of background contents of trace elements in soils, Calculation of the threshold contents and maximum allowable loads of trace metals in agricultural soils (accepted as guidelines for agriculture), Adaptation of phytoindicator methods for the assessment of soil contamination with trace metals.

After his engagement with the Central Bureau of the International Seismological Association in Strasbourg and with the soap factory of his father in Darmstadt, Beno Gutenberg received his venia legendi and a professorship at the University of Frankfurt in 1926. In 1929 he got an offer from Robert Millikan for full professorship in seismology at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Kulik, and collected samples of soils and pits containing in which admixture of cosmic spherules was found. Profound analysis of the collected samples and as well as physics of hypervelocity impacts led him in 1965 to publication of the concept of chemical differentiation of the protoplanetary matter in a process of its accretion into a planet.

Vernadsky at the Biogeochemical Laboratory of Academy of Sciences of USSR in Moscow in 1935. He assisted Vernadsky in that time pioneering the study of isotopic composition of natural waters and in biogeochemical experiments. It was good school for young scientist. Unfortunately it was interrupted by World War II.
