Unique expedition to Balto-Finnic peoples of Siberia
Senior Researcher Alexey Blandov of NORDICA Interdisciplinary Research & Education Center, KarRC RAS, has conducted a unique expedition to Siberia. The key objective of the expedition was to document the current state of idioms and traditional culture among Balto-Finnic ethnics who, during the 19th and 20th centuries, found themselves thousands of kilometers away from their historical homeland

Young geologist from Karelia awarded a medal from the Russian Academy of Sciences for research on geochronometer minerals
In July, the Russian Academy of Sciences announced the winners of the competition among scientific works by young scientists and students across 21 research fields. A RAS medal was awarded to Maria Sukhanova, doctoral student at the Institute of Geology KarRC RAS and Junior Researcher at the Institute of Precambrian Geology and Geochronology RAS. Maria engages in dating and determining the formation environments of geochronometer minerals, which help geologists to pinpoint the time and reconstruct the conditions under which rocks and ores formed. We congratulate Maria Sukhanova on this well-deserved award!

From Karelia to the Arctic: KarRC RAS scientists explore the life in northern rivers
Researchers from the Institute of Biology of the KarRC RAS are back from an expedition to the Teriberka River catchment and the Khibiny Mountains in the Murmansk Region. The data they have collected will help elucidate the organization and resilience of cold-water river ecosystems.

Ekolog and Poseidon about to sail out this fall already
The importance of two research vessels – Poseidon and Ekolog – for the scientists of several institutes within the Karelian Research Centre RAS can hardly be overestimated. A great many studies have been conducted using these vessels, and even more are coming. Both ships are currently on hold. No wonder the fate of these vessels – particularly the timelines for their repair and return to operation – has been repeatedly discussed at Academic Council’s and other meetings at the KarRC RAS.
