Hydrogen energy and iron ore mining: scientists tell about research in sectors of strategic importance
Experts in physical, mathematical and geological sciences presented the results of their research at a meeting of the KarRC RAS Learned Council. Ekaterina Kostikova, Senior Researcher at IAMR KarRC RAS, told about the application of mathematical modeling in the development and use of materials for hydrogen energy. The lecture by Alexander Slabunov, Principal Researcher at the Institute of Geology KarRC RAS, was devoted to banded iron formations of the Kostomukshskoye deposit - important for the economy and unique from the scientific perspective.

Scientists investigate the efficacy of the different giant hogweed eradication methods and how they affect the soil
The effect of Sosnowski hogweed on soil nematode communities is scrutinized at the Laboratory of Animal and Plant Parasitology IB KarRC RAS within a new study. From the basic science perspective, its results will broaden the understanding of the settlement patterns of soil organisms and their relationships with plants. In the practical sense, it will test different methods of controlling hogweed, evaluate their effectiveness and impact on soil ecosystems. Experiments at the KarRC RAS Agrobiological Station have yielded the first results.

The results of soil research by Karelian scientists enrich Russian national and world databases
The Karelian soil science school plays a prominent role in soil studies in Russia. At KarRC RAS, specialists from three research units deal with this discipline: Forest Research Institute, Institute of Biology and Department for Multidisciplinary Research. On the World Soil Day scientists told about their activities in a popular science format. Pollution monitoring, estimation of carbon pools, investigation of peat soils and study of soil organisms - visitors of the KarRC RAS Environmental Museum learned about this and much more on December 5.

Karelian biologists study 24/7 light exposure on crop growth
Proper lighting of crops can increase the yield and nutritional value of the produce, as well as reduce its cost. At the same time, excessive light can be as harmful to plants as its deficit. Scientists at the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS are searching for optimal light-dark cycles for automated “plant factories”.

Memorandums of Understanding to be signed between KarRC RAS and institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
On November 17-23, a delegation representing several units of the Karelian Research Center RAS visited scientific organizations of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Nanjing and Beijing. Together with Chinese colleagues, the scientists discussed topics for joint research and agreed to prepare applications for projects on the study of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Formal cooperation agreements are to be prepared with the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research and the Tibetan Plateau Research Institute CAS.

Naming city objects in Karelian helps preserve the ethnic identity
Linguists study bilingualism in the language landscape of Petrozavodsk. The scientists analyzed how the Karelian language is represented on street signs, how it is used in business names, and people's attitudes towards these processes. Linguists believe that visual bilingualism can help preserve the language and ethnic identity in the situation of a global decline in the number of Karelians and the share of those who speak the language. However, the serious problem of linguistic errors in the Karelian branding needs to be addressed.
