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!

Researchers monitor the state of Lake Onego under climate change and human impact
Staff of the Northern Water Problems Institute KarRC RAS are back from an expedition that covered larger bays and deep-water regions of Lake Onego. The multidisciplinary studies both provide new data on the wellbeing of the lake ecosystem through modern analysis methods and permit tracing the changes relying on over 60-year-long own observation series. Annual monitoring is especially important for evaluating the combined effect of climate change and human impact on the lake.

Karelian scientists assess the consequences of human impact on Solovki ecosystem
In 2025, KarRC RAS scientists continued field surveys in Blagopoluchiia Bay, Solovetsky Archipelago, White Sea. Two expeditions have already taken place – in winter and in summer, and one more is coming in August. Scientists explore the human impact on the archipelago’s nature, both in the bay waters and on adjacent land. They have detected an unusual ice structure, collected sediment cores to assess the pollution level, described the composition of the flora in the intertidal zone and the coastal meadows.
