A delegation of the Karelian Research Centre RAS made up of representatives of the Department for Multidisciplinary Research, Institute of Biology, and Forest Research Institute is taking part in the 9th Congress of the Dokuchaev Soil Science Society, which is hosted by the Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University. This year, the congress is timed to the 100th anniversary of the International Union of Soil Sciences, 300th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences and is held under the motto “Soils - a pillar of Russia”.
The event has gathered over 500 researchers from around Russia and from abroad. The Karelian soil science school has operated for over 50 years. The delegation from our republic at the congress is headed by Olga Bakhmet, RAS Corr. Academician, KarRC RAS Acting Director General, member of the Dokuchaev Society’s Central Board and chairperson of the Karelian Branch of the Society. At the symposia and sessions, KarRC RAS employees present the results of their research conducted under state assignments and within various grant-funded projects, including the State-significance Key Innovative Project “Unified National System for Monitoring Climate Active Substances”.
Dokuchaev Soil Science Society unites specialists of different profiles around a common goal - optimizing the economic use of the country's soil resources. The Congress of the Society is the biggest forum for discussing issues in this sphere. It is held once every four years. The 2012 Congress of the Society was hosted by the Karelian Research Centre RAS.

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.
