On February 27th, 2014 a meeting of the KarRC RAS Presidium took place. The agenda was the following:
1. Head of the Hydrophysics Laboratory of the KarRC Northern Water Problems Institute A. Terzhevik and co-authors delivered a lecture on the “Water temperature in shallow lakes as a regulator of seasonal variations in their ecosystem”, reporting the results of long-term (1994-2014) multidisciplinary studies of a shallow lake Vendyurskoe, covering also the ice-covered period.
2. KarRC RAS Vice President for Administration A. Fyodorov and Director for Finance I. Suraeva reported the main results of KarRC financial, administrative and economic activities in 2013.
3. Acting Secretary General for Science of KarRC Presidium O. Bahmet presented the timetable for scientific and administrative events at KarRC in 2014, which had been endorsed by Presidium members.
4. Deputy Editor-in-chief of the Scientific Journal “Transactions of KarRC RAS”, Director of the KarRC Forest Research Institute A. Kryshen’ told about some results and perspectives for the development of the edition.
5. Members of the Presidium resolved to summon the KarRC RAS General Assembly in the last ten days of March 2014, and decided on its agenda (summing up the main results of KarRC RAS scientific and administrative activities in 2013, and electing the chair of the Commission on KarRC RAS Charter).

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.
