Scholarly geologists to give a series of lectures and master classes within the “Karelia. History in Stone” exhibition
The exhibition “Karelia. History in Stone” prepared by the Institute of Geology KarRC RAS is set to open at the National Library of the Republic of Karelia on April 6. It will introduce visitors to natural features found around Petrozavodsk: traces of volcanic eruptions, marine sediments and evidence of the origin of early life forms. During the month, scientists will be giving lectures and master classes at the library.

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.

Economics are working on recommendations for tourism development in Arctic regions
Specialists of the Institute of Economics KarRC RAS have worked out an original methodology for studying domestic and inbound international tourism in the Russian Arctic. According to the results of the study, the most “touristy” Arctic regions are the Murmansk Region and the Republic of Karelia. The most challenging situation is in the Nenets Autonomous District and Yakutia. The new approach made it possible to assess the situation in ten northern regions and propose specific measures for them to develop tourism.
