Scientists of KarRC RAS introduce federal and regional mass media to their research objects
Journalists from federal and regional mass media learned about the objects studied by researchers of the Karelian Research Centre RAS on the “Journey to Science. Karelia” press tour organized by the National Priorities NPO. A part of the National Science and Technology Decade is the popular-science tourism program, which gives its participants a chance to actually see how domestic science is developing and to visit research laboratories and fieldwork sites.

Geographer’s Day in an unconventional way at KarRC RAS Environmental Research Museum
Geographer’s Day is celebrated in Russia on August 18th, honoring the foundation of the Russian Geographical Society (RGS) on this day in 1845. So this year is the RGS’s 180th anniversary. In Karelia, the date is also a round-number anniversary — the local RGS branch was founded 80 years ago. To befit the date, Karelian geographers celebrated it in a special manner: an open lecture series was held at the Museum of Applied Environmental Research KarRC RAS.

Karelian scientists resume observations of forest ecosystems in Paanajarvi National Park
Scientists from the Department for Multidisciplinary Research KarRC RAS went on an expedition to the Paanajarvi National Park, where they explored Arctic biodiversity and could compare the development of north-boreal ecosystems in a pristine area not affected by human activities and in forests with more noticeable human impact.

Karelian scientist creates 3D models of ancient stromatolites
Stromatolites are amazing fossils – structures deposited by ancient cyanobacteria in shallow waters billions of years ago. Geologists most often find them in carbonaceous rocks: dolomites and limestone. Some of the most ancient stromatolites have been discovered and explored in Karelia. Their studies have progressed to a new level: a young scientist from the Institute of Geology KarRC RAS Andrey Lyutikov has designed a technique for 3D simulation of the structures.
