Russian scientists prepare canned stingray and Arctic algae jam
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Yulia Shokina, professor of the Food Production Technologies department at the Murmansk State Technological University, spoke about canned stingray foods enriched with chondroitin sulfate. Stingray is generally by-catch of cod or haddock and is not processed in any way, although it can account for ...
Earthquake in Turkey recorded by Russian northernmost seismic stations
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. The stations of the Arhangelsk network are located on the archipelagos of Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya. The northernmost seismic stations in Russia recorded the earthquake in Turkey, scientists will use this data to study the Arctic. “Stations of the Arkhangelsk network recorded this ...
Scientists accidentally discover third form of amorphous ice
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. British scientists were experimenting with the usual form of ice, which has a hexagonal crystal lattice, and accidentally discovered a new form, called MDA (medium-density amorphous). The discovery cast doubt on the theory that liquid water consists of two immiscible liquids that, when frozen, form ...
Russian scientists recorded longest thunderstorm in high-latitude Arctic
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR.

Arctic could heat up due to earthquakes
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. The reason for the sharp warming of the climate in the Arctic in 1979–1980 could be not human activity, but powerful earthquakes. The widely held view that global warming is mainly due to the carbon footprint of industry has recently been challenged. The seismogenic-trigger hypothesis ...
Scientists develop oil and wood waste building materials for Arctic
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Researchers at the research and educational center Russian Arctic proposed to produce a sulfur composite material for construction from technical sulfur, which accumulates in large quantities in deposits in the Arctic regions of Russia. Due to remoteness, waste is stored and not taken out. Other ...
Arctic warming could reduce atmospheric carbon
#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Researchers from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, together with foreign colleagues, have been studying processes in the Arctic ocean for ten years. The findings suggest that shrinking multi-year ice in the Arctic could lead to growth of microalgae and greater uptake of atmospheric carbon. ...
