The Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences announced that Russian experts will conduct studies on climate change in the Arctic regions. In a statement, the Institute indicated that the famous Russian research vessel Mstislav Keldysh set off from Murmansk on an expedition to the Barents and Kara Seas to study greenhouse gas emissions, as part of the National Climate Monitoring Program. The scientists will conduct research on numerous fields which will be implemented under a most important national project called the 'National Unified System for the Study of Active Substances Affecting the Climate,' Including research in the fields of atmospheric physics, hydro-chemistry, hydro-physics, geology, geochemistry, paleoceanography, hydrobiology in the economic zones of Russia and Norway and around Spitsbergen, and studies of natural materials associated with climate change, the statement added. The institute indicated that the scientific mission will utilize equipment that dives to gr eat depths in the water, in order to study the connection between cold and warm Arctic waters of the Atlantic Ocean and methane emissions. The project seeks to acquire independent climate predictions and insights into the key drivers of climate change. The resulting data will serve as a foundation for national policy-making efforts aimed at reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Source: Qatar News Agency
