Hydrologists study the estuaries of rivers emptying into the White Sea to assess the ecological situation in its drainage basin
Specialists from the Northern Water Problems Institute KarRC RAS went on an expedition to the Belomorsk District of Karelia. Scientists took measurements of the physical and chemical parameters of under-ice water and ice in the mouth of the Nizhny Vyg River. This area is under pressure from the White Sea-Baltic Canal, and the observations are needed to assess the ecological situation and predict how it will change as shipping traffic increases.
