Karelian scientists study lakes that contain fresh as well as saline water at the same time
Meromictic reservoirs are a new research object for scientists at the Karelian Research Center RAS. These lakes are unusual: their lower water layer is saline, while the top column is fresh water. The two parts do not intermix. Specialists use hydrophysical methods to study the interface between the layers, while the paleogeographic approach helps understand the formation history of such reservoirs.

Ancient rocks of Karelia can help gain new knowledge of the earliest stages in the Earth’s evolution
Scientists from Primorsky Krai and Karelia are studying ancient rocks of the Kostomuksha iron ore deposit. A unique installation created in Vladivostok enables multi-isotope analysis of sulfur contained in the rocks. The resultant data can reveal the environment in which our planet was forming in the early period of its history and clarify the conditions in which the first organisms lived 2.7 billion years ago.
