Geographers continue exploring the estuary of the Nizhny Vyg river emptying into the White Sea
River estuaries must be studied to determine what is carried from the catchment into the sea and in what amounts. It is now the fourth year that specialists from the Northern Water Problems Institute (NWPI KarRC RAS) have been surveying the estuary of the Nizhny Vyg River – one of the main waterways feeding the White Sea in its Karelian part. Last week, an expedition to Sorokskaya Bay of the White Sea was conducted to measure the physical and chemical parameters of the water during the summer period.
