Summary
Join us for the webinar to hear directly from Yugra State University's leading researchers on the University's ongoing and future scientific projects linked to the Arctic and climate change. Topics include: environmental monitoring, paleo-climate reconstruction, peatlands & wetlands and, carbon cycling. Discover the fantastic Mukhrino Research Station and hear about opportunities for fieldwork in West Siberia, and learn more about the region and what makes it a unique research environment.
Located in the north of West Siberia, Yugra State University is an exciting place for Arctic research. A member of the University of the Arctic, the University is home to the UNESCO chair on "Environmental dynamic and global climate changes" and manages its very own Mukhrino Research Station which is part of the EU Horizon 2020 INTERACT programme (details below).
The University has links with the UK science community and is keen to develop more. In February this year, ARCTIS2020 – a bespoke UK-Russia field course for early career researchers in the Russian Arctic – was organised in Khanty-Mansyisk, at the University and the Mukhrino Research Station, by the UK Polar Network and APECS Russia.
