Svetlana Egorova - Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, has been working at the Institute of Geology since 2010. Her way to science started with doctoral studies at the Laboratory of Petrology and Tectonics, her research interests include petrology of Paleoproterozoic magmatic complexes of the Fennoscandinavian Shield.
- I plan to steer the activities of the Young Scientists' Council to primarily focus on expertise sharing and communication between young scientists from different units of the Center. It is important to hold training workshops on preparing presentations, writing articles for scientific journals, initiating and submitting applications for grant support from the Russian Science Foundation, mastering useful services and tools that facilitate the work of a scientist, - said Svetlana Egorova.
The Young Scientists Council (YSC) of KarRC RAS is a collegial advisory body to KarRC RAS Director General. It was established to unite young scientists in search of the most effective forms of involving them in the development of basic and applied science, realization of the scientific potential, upskilling, as well as to help protect their rights, improve their work and living conditions and organize their leisure time.
KarRC RAS YSC Chairperson is a voting member of the KarRC RAS Learned Council.

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.

Citizen science and web technologies help researchers study insects of Karelia
More than 30 insect species not encountered in Karelia previously have been revealed by entomologists from KarRC RAS during their expeditions and using data communicated by active participants of the iNaturalist portal – an open platform for collecting biodiversity data.
