Career-guidance tours to be given to schoolchildren at KarRC RAS

Karelian Research Center RAS once again joined in the annual federal career guidance project for schoolchildren “Ticket to the Future”. Children will get acquainted with the work of scientists in different fields of science from October 7 to November 23.
Karelian Research Center RAS invites schoolchildren to try themselves as scientists! As part of the career-guidance project “Ticket to the Future” of the National Project “Education”, pupils of grades 6-11 can get acquainted with the work of a chemical analysis laboratory assistant, analytical chemist, geologist-mineralogist, archaeologist, molecular biologist and geneticist.

— Experience from previous years shows that schoolchildren enjoy visiting our laboratories and, together with scientists, examining archaeological artifacts, rock samples, biological objects, etc. They learn firsthand about the tasks that Karelian scientists are working on. This is a great opportunity to stimulate the interest of schoolchildren in science! — remarked Natalya Fokina, KarRC RAS Secretary for Science.

Classes will be held from October 7 through November 23. The number of students attending is limited and pre-registration is required. The registration is done by the Navigator teacher via his/her personal account on the project web portal. The schedule of the tours will be available upon registration.


A class at the Archaeological Museum is conducted by Tatyana Vasilyeva, Researcher at the Institute of Linguistics, Literature and History (ILLH) KarRC 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.
