Anton has participated in many scientific expeditions. In the summer of 2005 he joined an expedition down the Amur River. The main aim of the expedition was to study the influence of big cities on the Amur River ecological system. The expedition goals were scientific and to contribute to the protection of fauna and flora of the Russian Far East. In 2004 he participated in the 52nd Students' Scientific Conference with a report on botany "Flora of Tas-Yuriakh."

Anton was a participant of two other scientific expeditions supervised by the Far Eastern Branch of the Academy of Science in Russia. One of the aims was to study the influence of gold mining on northern ecosystems. Anton studied flora in the vicinity of Khabarovsk and gathered a herbarium for the botany chair collection. He also worked at the Pasvik Preserve, in the Russian Murmansk Territory. The herbarium collected there became a part of the collection of the Far Eastern State Humanities University. His report "The study of the Amur tiger realm in the Khabarovsk Territory" was well received. Anton is eager to contribute to the protection of nature all over the world.
