Two projects under the leadership and with participation of scientists from the Karelian Research Centre RAS made it to the final list of the 2023 competition for grants of the Russian Science Foundation under its priority area “Basic research and exploratory research by separate research groups”:
- «Possibilities and prospects of using abnormal light and dark cycles to improve the energy efficiency of plant crop production in closed systems with artificial illumination», Leader – Dr.Sci. Alexander Titov (Institute of Biology KarRC RAS);
- «Composition, sources, and age of Middle Paleoproterozoic sedimentary and igneous complexes in the Karelian Craton as a basis for paleotectonic reconstructions», Leader – Dr. Sci. Alexander Samsonov (Institute of Geology KarRC RAS).
The competition provides for research to be conducted in 2023-2025, with possible extensions for one or two years after that.
We congratulate the winners and wish them productive research!

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.

Citizen science and web technologies help researchers study insects of Karelia
More than 30 insect species not encountered in Karelia previously have been revealed by entomologists from KarRC RAS during their expeditions and using data communicated by active participants of the iNaturalist portal – an open platform for collecting biodiversity data.
