Shira lake sediments help unveil the secret of ancient climate

Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies and their overseas colleagues have studied the bottom sediments of Lake Shira in Khakassia, Russia, and found out how climatic and environmental conditions in the region have changed over 150 years. For this purpose, they conducted a number of geochemical, isotopic, magnetic, seismo-acoustic and radiocarbon studies of...

Institute’s labs toured by Desk Officer of the Office of the President of Russia for Scientific and Educational Policy Yevgeny Beloklokov and Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Tatarstan Ramis Muzipov

They were accompanied by the Vice-Rector for Earth Sciences Danis Nurgaliev. The guests familiarized themselves with the laboratories of paleomagnetism and magnetism of rocks; geochemistry, isotope and element analysis; X-ray computed tomography; petrophysical methods of geomaterials research, and others. In addition, they visited the 3D GEOCenter and the Geothermochronology Center. “Geothermochronology is an actively developing field that...
