Israel. He held scientific positions: junior researcher (since 1974), senior researcher (since 1976), head of department (since 1985), deputy director of the institute for scientific work (since 1997), director of the institute (since 2011 g.) and scientific director of the institute since 2017.

Since 1985 – Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. In the same year, he was awarded the academic title of senior researcher. He was the scientific supervisor of 6 applicants who successfully defended their Ph.D. dissertations. In 1997 he was awarded the academic title of professor. Since 2022 – Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (specialty: atmospheric physics, climatology).

In 2008, the President of Russia awarded him the honorary title “Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation,” and in 2018 he was awarded the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, II degree.

Since 1988, he has been a leading author, and since 2003, a coordinating lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

Since 2014, by order of the Chairman of the Government of Russia, he has been a representative of the Russian Federation in the IPCC.

Area of ​​scientific research: climatology, atmospheric physics, ecology. More than 200 scientific papers have been published, including 5 monographs. Member of the editorial board of the scientific journal “Meteorology and Hydrology”, editor-in-chief of the scientific journal “Fundamental and Applied Climatology”, member of the editorial board of the scientific journal “Izvestia RAS. Physics of the atmosphere and ocean.” Member of the Moscow Mathematical Society, the Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the physics of solar-terrestrial connections and the Russian National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, member of the Bureau of the Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences on Earth's climate problems.

In 2000, for the monograph “Tropospheric ozone and plant growth in Europe” he was awarded the Academician E.K. Fedorov Prize, and in 2014 for the preparation of the monograph “Methods for assessing the consequences of climate change for physical and biological systems” - the Prize named after. A.I. Voeikova (Roshydromet). In 2020, the Russian Academy of Sciences S.M. Semenov was awarded the Gold Medal named after Yu.A. Israel for the series of works “Greenhouse gases and climate change”.
