Abstract
At present, it is possible to identify a number of new directions for the development of biogeochemical research, at the junction of fundamental and applied research. A new field of research is being formed – engineering biogeochemistry, within the framework of which innovative biogeochemical technologies are being developed – technologies and technological processes based on modeling and management of ecosystem biogeochemical cycles. The article shows the transition from the fundamental ideas of V.I. Vernadsky to biogeochemical technologies. The application of these innovative technologies for the restoration of disturbed and polluted impact ecosystems, in particular, polar ecosystems in the zones of operation of gas-producing enterprises, is considered.
