Po ar researches

Information--‐analytical collection «Russian Polar researches» is being published since 2010. It continues and develops a bulletin «News of IPY 2007/08, which was published 2007--‐2010 and reflected main stages of science--‐research works, which were carried out by Russian scientists dur--‐ ing International Polar Year 2007/08.

A senior--‐editor of publication is Alexander Ivanovich Danilov, candidate of Physical and Mathematical sciences, assistant director on scientific works in State scientific center «Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute». A deputy chief editor --‐ Victor Georgievich Dmitriev, candidate of Technical sciences, academic secretary of AARI and Honored Scientist of the RF. A state institution «Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute» (SI AARI) belongs to Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Rosgydromet) and is considered to be the only appeared in Russia research institute, which provides complex monitoring of the Earth polar regions1.

Firstly publication was planned to be published twice a year and 2010 it was really published two issues. But the growing interest to Arctic and Antarctic and still continuing growth of understanding of polar researches’ importance led to the situation that by the year 2011 there were already 4 issues of this collection of publications. To the moment of this article’s writing, the latest issue was №1 (15), 2014, published in March. The next issue is planned to be published in June 2014. Readership of this issue is rather wide, and its publications meant for both specialists, whose challenge is to investigate polar regions, and for just those, who are interested in all happening in Arctic and Antarctic.

With development of the issue, structure of its sections changes, but the whole direction of it is unchangeable: it is firstly publication of materials about scientific researches of territories and water zones, information about development of Arctic and Antarctic and cross--‐lights of international collaboration. Such a variety provides in much that the issue is interesting for wide audience for each who is interested in studying and development of polar regions could find an interesting material for himself.

Currently a number of main sections are pointed, which content is overviewed later. In the section «Official chronicle» data on adoptions of statutory instruments which are connected with polar regions of the Earth are published. In such a way, in № 3 (9), 2012 it is noted about signing of a number of decrees by V.V.Putin and also of a law on creation of The Northern Sea route administration.

«On the front burner interview» presents a conversation with a scientist or a politician, top--‐manager of organization on polar researches. For example, in the interview with chief specialist of SSC «AARI» L.A.Timohov, published in № 3 (13), 2013 a history and modern condition of Russian--‐German researches of Laptev Sea system. In № 1 (15), 2014, an interview with executive director of OAO «Sevmorgeo» M.Y.Shkatov on one of the most urgent topics of Arctic explorations nowadays: «Realization of new great projects demands for key investments» is published.

«Exploration of polar regions» — is probably considered to be the most extensional section, which publish unique research materials, «straight from the horse mouth» so to say, on development and results of scientific expeditions in Arctic and Antarctic. In № 1 (15), 2014, for example, are published articles of V.G.Dmitriev «Problems of hydrometeorological provision of environmental management and ecological safety of the Russian Federation Arctic zone», V.F.Radionov «Sooty aerosol in Arctic», A.A.Piskun «From the history of Antarctic lake Radok explorations» and others. «Development of the Arctic region» tells about usage of Arctic natural resources and hold of particular activities and others.

Section «Conferences, meetings, sessions» give a short overview of scientific and social activities’ results. In the section «International correlation» problems of interconnection on the state level and on the level of international organizations on questions of Polar regions’ study and research are overviewed. When taking into account importance of international correlation in polar regions, importance of materials, given in this section is difficult to overestimate.
