The competition received 4 491 applications and 534 projects were granted support based on expert review criteria. One of the winning projects is a study supervised by KarRC RAS Director General, Corresponding Academician Olga Bakhmet on “Prospects of using bottom sediments from fish farms in northern regions of Russia to enhance soil fertility and crop yields”.
In March, the Russian Science Foundation also announced the results of several competitions, including “Conducting research using available world-class scientific infrastructure”. The competition received 398 applications and 101 projects were granted support based on expert review criteria. One of the winners was the project “The Language of 17th-19th cc. Balto-Finnic Writing Heritage: Integrated Analysis on the Basis of the LingvoDoc Linguistic Platform”, which will be implemented with the help of the Computing Resources and Competence Sharing Center of the RAS Institute for System Programming.

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.
