A delegation of the Karelian Research Centre RAS made up of representatives of the Department for Multidisciplinary Research, Institute of Biology, and Forest Research Institute is taking part in the 9th Congress of the Dokuchaev Soil Science Society, which is hosted by the Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University. This year, the congress is timed to the 100th anniversary of the International Union of Soil Sciences, 300th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences and is held under the motto “Soils - a pillar of Russia”.
The event has gathered over 500 researchers from around Russia and from abroad. The Karelian soil science school has operated for over 50 years. The delegation from our republic at the congress is headed by Olga Bakhmet, RAS Corr. Academician, KarRC RAS Acting Director General, member of the Dokuchaev Society’s Central Board and chairperson of the Karelian Branch of the Society. At the symposia and sessions, KarRC RAS employees present the results of their research conducted under state assignments and within various grant-funded projects, including the State-significance Key Innovative Project “Unified National System for Monitoring Climate Active Substances”.
Dokuchaev Soil Science Society unites specialists of different profiles around a common goal - optimizing the economic use of the country's soil resources. The Congress of the Society is the biggest forum for discussing issues in this sphere. It is held once every four years. The 2012 Congress of the Society was hosted by the Karelian Research Centre RAS.

Citizens of Karelia can help scientists explore early-stage disorders and risks of developing serious diseases
Scientists invite volunteers aged 40–59 to take part in a large-scope region study seeking to identify early markers of the yet silent disorders that may later evolve into cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Participants will be asked to give a single blood sample for key laboratory tests. The results can be collected in person or via email. In the long term, this work will enable scientists and medical professionals to detect the threat of serious diseases as early as possible.

Russian Science Foundation supported Karelian scientists’ projects
Four grant applications submitted by scientists of the Karelian Research Centre RAS were approved by the Russian Science Foundation. The projects by Karelian researchers deal with issues such as building a methodology for the identification, monitoring, and protection of certain wetlands, increased mortalities among young farmed trout relocated to natural water bodies, assessing the anti-inflammatory properties of natural dietary supplements promising for trout farming, and reconstruction of the thermal history of the Earth's crust formation in northern Karelia and southern Murmansk Region.
