Presentations by KarRC RAS President O.N. Bakhmet and Kolmas Karelia Director General A.B. Artemiev included proposals on how to promote multifarious cooperation between KarRC RAS and the Ruskeala Mining Park based on the agreement signed late in October last year. This Agreement envisages research into the park’s surface, underground and underwater spaces. During the discussions, the parties have preliminarily agreed that in autumn 2020 already Karelian Research Centre will come up with suggestions on a number of long-term multidisciplinary research areas dealing with climate effects on the stability of underground spaces, hydrological characteristics of the reservoir in the canyon, as well as propose the material to be exhibited in the park’s newly created cultural and information centre.
The parties have agreed to jointly apply for grants and competitions, to prepare joint scholarly and popular publications. One of the joint activities will be the international project “European Underground Laboratories” (EUL), starting next year, financed by the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme with co-financing from the Russian Federation and Norway. The project is an extension of the international project BSUIN to be implemented under the specific objective 1.1. Research and innovation infrastructures. Apart from Russian partners – KarRC RAS, Kolmas Karelia company (Ruskeala Mining Park), V.G. Khlopin Radium Institute (St. Petersburg), the project partnership includes organizations from Finland, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

Collaboration with the Ruskeala Mining Park rises to a new level
On July 16 a working meeting of the Ruskeala Mining Park (Kolmas Karelia company), KarRC RAS, Russian Geographical Society and Museum Technologies company (St. Petersburg) took place at the Park’s Visitor Centre. The participants looked into a number of issues regarding interactions between KarRC RAS and Kolmas Karelia (including KarRC RAS’s contribution to the making of the park’s cultural and information centre), discussed pre-investment plans for the park’s development, and some other issues.

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.
