The computer model of hydroicethermal processes downstream the Novosibirsk control structure to calculate the ice-hole length and the levels of free water surface was developed in IWEP SB RAS. To study the optimal discharge from Novosibirsk reservoir during the low-water winters the relationship between the levels of water surface z in the intake structure section ÍÔÑ-5 and discharges of water through the dam Q under different position of ice cover edge Li was estimated. Nonmonotonic type of this relation (unlike the regime of the open channel), i.e. from some discharge, as it increases the water level in the cross-section ÍÔÑ-5 decreases and then it increases again, was defined theoretically and confirmed numerically (Fig.). Recommendations for the perfect functioning of the water intake facility at Novosibirsk city in warm low-water winters were formulated.

IWEP SB RAS has constructed the integrated map of a regional landscape structure of Siberia at
the level of physical-geographical provinces (see Fig.) to do the complex ecological-geographical studies, to make the landscape-indication analysis of the geosphere, to carry out the natural environment monitoring as well as to solve the problems of sustainable development and the issues of territorial arrangement of the regional nature management systems. The map differs from particular and assembled schemes by thorough analysis of zonal territory peculiarities manifested in the structure of the present-day vegetation cover, description of geological-geomorphological evolution, modern geomorphostructure and orography.
