It's been 20 years since the establishment of the Caspian Branch of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Since its foundation, the Branch has come a long and fruitful way in developing fundamental and applied research of the Caspian Sea in the interests of government agencies and sectors of the economy of the Russian Federation.

Irina Chubarenko, Head of the Laboratory of Marine Physics of the Atlantic Branch of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Elena Yesyukova, Senior Researcher at the same laboratory, were among the top ten researchers with the greatest contribution to the study of microplastic pollution of sea beaches.

 

The goal of the first expedition of Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences this year was to study the consequences of the fuel oil spill resulting from the sinking of two Volgoneft-class tankers on December 15, 2024.

The Open Russian Cup in Marine Robotics will be held in Astrakhan from March 24 to 30 at the corporate training center of LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft LLC.

 

The research of P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences is devoted to the impact of glacier melting on Arctic ecosystems.
