Yulia Novikova, Doctoral Student and Junior Researcher at the Laboratory of Geography and Hydrology of the Northern Water Problems Institute (NWPI) of the Karelian Research Center RAS, was awarded a scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation for doctoral students and associates.
Yulia Novikova graduated from St. Petersburg State University with a degree in Oceanology. She is now a doctoral student at KarRC RAS, doing her dissertation research on “Water mass mixing in lakes of different types in the annual cycle” under the supervision of Galina Zdorovennova, Leading Researcher at the Hydrophysics Laboratory NWPI KarRC RAS.
— There is a worldwide trend towards climate change. Lakes are responding quickly to this factor. It is known that climate warming leads to changes in water level, thermal and gas regimes of water bodies. At the same time, the mixing of water masses remains poorly studied. The functioning of aquatic ecosystems depends on the mixing regime. It is important for us to estimate the share of external energy that is used for water mixing, — told Yulia Novikova.
In total, more than 4.5 thousand doctoral students and associates from all over Russia took part in the competition for the new Presidential Scholarship. Experts identified 500 winners, who conduct scientific research in line with the priorities of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation.
We congratulate Yulia and Galina and wish them success in their scientific endeavors!

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.

Citizen science and web technologies help researchers study insects of Karelia
More than 30 insect species not encountered in Karelia previously have been revealed by entomologists from KarRC RAS during their expeditions and using data communicated by active participants of the iNaturalist portal – an open platform for collecting biodiversity data.
