January 27 marks the 75th anniversary of the leading researcher of the Ocean Optics Laboratory Vladimir Ivanovich Burenkov. The whole creative life of Vladimir Ivanovich is connected with the Institute of Oceanology. Cooperation with the Institute began in the student years in the late 60s and continues for more than half a century.

On January 24, Tatyana Anatolyevna Savilova passed away. Our Tanya is gone - warm, sincere, sympathetic, beloved by everyone in the Laboratory of the bottom fauna of the ocean. Tatyana Anatolyevna came to our Institute in 1974, immediately after graduating from the Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University. She entered the Laboratory (at that time the Benthos Laboratory) as a trainee researcher and since then has worked in our team for almost half a century.

In the period from February 14 to 16, 2022, at six sites in five cities of Russia: Moscow, Astrakhan, Vladivostok, Kaliningrad and Sevastopol, the Floating University 2022 scientific school will be held, organized with the participation of leading scientific, educational and commercial organizations associated with the study of the ocean. The Shirshov Institute of Oceanology is one of the main organizers and represents a platform for conducting full-time scientific and practical events of the scientific school in Moscow and Kaliningrad.

 

The Springer publishing house issued the book “Antarctic Peninsula Region of the Southern Ocean” Oceanography and Ecology, the editors of the book are employees of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Evgeny G. Morozov, Mikhail V. Flint, Vasily A. Spiridonov. The book is dedicated to the results of research in the Antarctic during the expedition onboard the RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh (cruise 79) in 2019-2020.

The Springer publishing house issued the monograph "Bottom Gravity Currents and Overflows in Deep Channels of the Atlantic Ocean" Observations, Analysis, and Modeling. The authors are employees of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Evgeny G. Morozov, Roman Yu. Tarakanov and Dmitry I. Frey.

The 2nd stage of the 60th voyage of the RV Akademik Ioffe to the tropical Atlantic continues. The scientific program of the expedition includes conducting geological, geophysical, hydrophysical and hydrochemical studies of deep and near-bottom circulation and its impact on sedimentation, as well as observations of cetaceans along the way, collection of microbiological data and meteorological information in the Central Atlantic, along the route of the vessel from the port of Kaliningrad to the Vima test site - a section through the Guiana Basin (including the uplift of Ceara) - to the port of Kaliningrad.

In the article “Poleward expansion of tropical cyclone latitudes in warming climates”, published in the New Year's issue of Nature Geoscience, the authors Joshua Studholme, Alexey V. Fedorov, Sergey K. Gulev, Kerry Emanuel and Kevin Hodges analyze the dynamics of tropical cyclones over the past few million years.

An exhibition “Outpost of Russian Oceanology. To the 75th anniversary of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences" will be held in the RAS Archive at st. Novocheremushkinskaya, 34 from December 15, 2021 to January 15, 2022.
