Abstract
Currently, there is a growing need for a more precise theoretical justification and the definition of a methodology for studying geographical disciplines to optimize the interaction between society and nature, ensuring environmental safety. The specificity of modern education requires the implementation of a new, practice-oriented approach. A historical perspective on the development of scientific research and the training of specialists in the field of geographical science is presented. The article analyzes the scientific and pedagogical activity of the geographical faculty of Kaliningrad State University — Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University on the basis of a retrospective study for 1963—2023. Positive trends and the role of dissertation research in geoecology and oceanology in preparing personnel for scientific and production activities are highlighted. The prospects and directions for the further development of geographical science at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University are assessed.
