The 49th scientific voyage of the RV Akademik Boris Petrov, which was carried out from June 1 to June 23, 2022 (23 days) in the territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation in the southeastern part of the Baltic Sea, has ended.

The Geological Institute of RAS organized and conducted the 53rd voyage of the RV Akademik Nikolaj Strakhov from July 7 to August 15, 2022 in the North Atlantic. Port of exit - Kaliningrad, port of arrival - St. Petersburg.

The purpose of the expedition is to conduct comprehensive geological and geophysical studies of the ridge zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Charlie Gibbs and Maxwell faults to obtain new data on the geodynamic conditions for the formation of the oceanic crust, magmatic, tectonic and hydrothermal processes within the framework of the project "Intraplate tectonic, magmatic and hydrothermal-metamorphic phenomena in the axial part and on the flanks of the MAR in the North Atlantic”.

Within the framework of the grant project "Peculiarities of mesotidal mouths of the rivers of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the conditions of summer low water (on the example of the Indiga River in the Nenets Autonomous District)" in the period from July 21 to August 1, 2022, employees of the North-Western Branch of the Institute of Oceanology of RAS carried out complex expeditionary studies of the mouth area of the Indiga River in the Indiga Bay of the Barents Sea. The leader of the expedition is the leading researcher of the North-Western Branch of the IO RAS, PhD Miskevich I.

 

The RV Akademik Ioffe has returned from the 61st scientific voyage across the Baltic Sea, which lasted 15 days from June 28 to July 12. Traditionally, the main task of oceanologists has been to study the state of the marine environment, which is not only subject to intensive human use, but also responds to regional climate changes. In order to give a reliable assessment of the ongoing changes, it is important to apply an integrated approach, so scientists from different fields worked on the expedition - hydrologists, geologists, biologists, ecologists.
