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.
