APECS members and young scientists from Russia in collaboration with the Arctic.ru website are launching a new outreach project. The project has been developed by Katya Uryupova (APECS Council) and Yulia Zaika (APECS ExCom). We aim to create a series of webinars about life and science in the Russian Arctic. What it's like to live and carry out investigations on ice? What kind of indicators of environmental changes can be detected on the remote Arctic islands of Russia?How the lifeunderneathsea ice of the White Sea looks like? And many more interesting questions and discussions. Webinars will be held in Russian, recordings will be translated into English, and then shared online.
Arctic.ru covers issues on the Arctic areas of Russia and other circumpolar states. The website provides up-to-date information, news, and analysis, as well as interviews and other multimedia content.
A very special THANKS to APECS for providing the teleconferencing platform for this amazing project.
The first webinar will be dedicated to the unique ice camp Barneo. Annually the camp opens in April and for a month it becomes the main scientific and touristic center in the Arctic. The webinar will be hosted by Kirill Kivva, a participant of the Barneo-2014 camp, researcher of the laboratory of climatic basis of bioproductivity of the All-russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO).
