October 25 - October 27, 2023, St. Petersburg

On April 5, 2023, the Moscow Institute of Architecture (State Academy, Moscow Architectural Institute) hosted the Round Table “Museums of Higher Educational Institutions. Variability of Formation and Development Scenarios” within the framework of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Science, Education and Experimental Design – 2023”.

March 20 marks the 90th anniversary of the leading Russian scientist in the field of geology and geophysics of the ocean - chief researcher of the Laboratory of Geophysical Fields of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation Alexander Moiseevich Gorodnitsky - the geophysicist and the poet.

Russian scientists from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences have discovered near-bottom currents of Antarctic bottom water in the equatorial part of the Atlantic Ocean. These currents fill the deepest depressions in this region with depths of more than 7800 m, and also carry cold bottom waters to the east and further northward, determining the temperature of the bottom layer over a large area of the Northeast Atlantic.

 

On February 7, 2023, a meeting dedicated to the Day of Russian Science was held in the building of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences. During the meeting, a ceremony was held for the solemn awarding of medals of the Russian Academy of Sciences with prizes for young scientists of Russia and for students of higher educational institutions of Russia following the results of the 2021 competition.

 

On January 18, 2023, on the eve of Science Day, the names of the young scientists who won the competition for the Moscow Government Prizes for young scientists in 2022 were announced. Head of S.L. Soloviev Tsunami Laboratory of Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS PhD (Physical and Mathematical Sciences) Igor Medvedev was awarded the the Moscow Government Prize for the cycle of works "Investigation of fluctuations in the level of inland and marginal seas in the range from minutes to centuries".

 

On the Day of Russian Science, Vladimir Putin presented awards in the field of science and innovation for young scientists for 2022. Alexander Osadchiev, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is among those awarded. The solemn ceremony took place in the Kremlin. Five laureates were awarded for research in the field of oil production, oceanology, chemical analysis, as well as the development of technology for testing complex technical devices.

The 63rd voyage of PS Akademik Ioffe to the eastern tropical Atlantic (September 29, 2022 – December 7, 2022) has ended. The expedition was organized by the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, with the participation of the Faculty of Geography of Moscow State University and the Federal Research Center of the Institute of Bio-Science Mining, Russian Academy of Sciences. The head of the expedition is the chief researcher of the IO RAS, DSc E.V. Ivanova.

 

The 52nd voyage of the RV Akademik Boris Petrov started on October 17, 2022. On November 21, the Brazilian phase of research work began. A detachment of coastal observations was created from 4 specialists from the IO RAS, who have solid experience in working in new climatic conditions and in unfamiliar terrain. They started their work in the city of Belen (-1.45 S, -48.48 W), which is located on the coast of Marajo Bay (Brazil). The purpose of the detachment was to assess the ecological situation of the coastal zone of the Amazonian selva within the littoral zones of the Atlantic, estuaries and estuarine areas of rivers.

Today, 17 carbon polygons operate in different regions of the Russian Federation. The Institute of Oceanology is the operator of one of these polygons based on the Southern Branch in Gelendzhik: 7 ha + 4 ha + connection of a 15 ha + 12 km sea coast area to a depth of 700 m. On the basis of the polygons, researchers measure and monitor greenhouse gas fluxes: carbon dioxide CO2, methane CH4, nitrous oxide NO and some others.
