 R.Mammadov is a known scientist and authority in the field of researches of the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan and in the world as well.  His scientific researches were devoted to actual problems of the Caspian Sea - mainly the hydrology, hydrology, hydrophyiscis, mutual in­fluence of atmosphere and sea, study of turbulent exchange and tur­bulent diffusion in the sea, creation of physical and geographical model of diffusion of pollutants in the sea, status and ecogeographical problems of Caspian Sea.

 The transborder water problems of the Kur-Araz basin, study of desertification process in Azerbaijan, landscape planning and environmental protection are also R.Mammadov’s basic research directions.

 R.M.Mamedova's works, both articles, and monographies are published in scientific magazines known the world and editions. He adequately represents Azerbaijan in scientific and ecological structures of such international organizations as the United Nations, EU, UNESCO, etc., nearby 40 countries has acted with scientific reports.

Main scientific achievements:   

For the first time investigated statistical and spectral characteristics of turbulences on wide spatially and temporary scales in the open part of the Caspian sea, has established of general regularity of distribution and propagation of contaminants in the sea. Has elaborated model for definition of parameters of the upper quasi-homogeneous layer on temperature, if there is speed and wind direction, and also flow of heat through a surface of the sea. The non-stationary model for interaction of atmosphere with the sea is designed, which one at a known course of wind speed allows to determine of parameters of a ground atmospheric slice. The physical and geographical model for calculation of propagation and distribution of contaminants in the Caspian sea is designed under different hydro meteorological conditions, with allowance for of bottom configuration and configuration of a coast zone. Investigated the causes of fluctuation of level of the Caspian sea, has established influencing the different factors on fluctuation of levels, has elaborated a long-time forecasting of fluctuation of level as a first approximation. Has preformed and has emited the Complex Hydrometeorological Atlas of the Caspian Sea.
