The Mineral Indutry of Russia in 1998
THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF RUSSIA By Richard M. Levine Russia extends over more than 75% of the territory of the According to the Minister of Natural Resources, Russia will former Soviet Union (FSU) and accordingly possesses a large not begin to replenish diminishing reserves until the period from percentage of the FSU’s mineral resources. Russia was a major 2003 to 2005, at the earliest. Although some positive trends mineral producer, accounting for a large percentage of the were appearing during the 1996-97 period, the financial crisis in FSU’s production of a range of mineral products, including 1998 set the geological sector back several years as the minimal aluminum, bauxite, cobalt, coal, diamonds, mica, natural gas, funding that had been available for exploration decreased nickel, oil, platinum-group metals, tin, and a host of other further. In 1998, 74% of all geologic prospecting was for oil metals, industrial minerals, and mineral fuels. Still, Russia was and gas (Interfax Mining and Metals Report, 1999n; Novikov significantly import-dependent on a number of mineral products, and Yastrzhembskiy, 1999). including alumina, bauxite, chromite, manganese, and titanium Lack of funding caused a deterioration of capital stock at and zirconium ores.

At the majority of mining enterprises, there for metal mining were East Siberia (cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, was a sharp decrease in production indicators. As a result, in the columbium, platinum-group metals, tungsten, and zinc), the last 7 years more than 20 million metric tons (Mt) of capacity Kola Peninsula (cobalt, copper, nickel, columbium, rare-earth has been decommissioned at iron ore mining enterprises. -
Typological Features of Water Structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban Territories
MATEC Web of Conferences 193, 02021 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819302021 ESCI 2018 Typological features of water structures of the Railway in West Siberian Urban territories Eugenia Ketova 1,* and Juliya Nizhegorodskaya1 1 Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 630099 Novosibirsk, Russia Abstract. The railway construction was a new phenomenon for Russia and was not sufficiently studied from a technological point of view. Primarily, climatic and geographical factors were the main problems in the process of the Trans-Siberian Railway construction. Severe winter, permafrost, mountainous, abundant forest terrain created certain difficulties during the construction phase. Therefore, the builders were forced to violate the nature integrity and lay the railway lines along the most profitable routes. The railway line was naturally chosen, first it should pass through large settlements, and secondly, the important factor was the location of the station near the water source for the uninterrupted operation of locomotives. But together with technological progress, this system was evolved into a complex organism, which parts were modernized, and some of them turned into inefficient structures that are collapsing and polluting the environment. 1 Introduction One of the main ecological relationship types between a person and water is his water use through the implementation of individual or centralized water supply. Long-term development of water supply technology is allowed to improve methods of water intake and transportation, which led to some elements inefficiency in the water supply system. Each year, an unprotected object comes to decay, collapsing enclosing structures, facade elements, roofing, and foundation; damage not only environment, but also a danger to humans. -
Is It Possible to Sustain Resource-Driven Region?
Bulletin of the Tomsk Polytechnic University. Geo Аssets Engineering. 2020. V. 331. 11. 208–216 Kiriyanova L.G. Mining and tourism: is it possible to sustain resource-driven region? UDC 332 MINING AND TOURISM: IS IT POSSIBLE TO SUSTAIN RESOURCE-DRIVEN REGION? Liliya G. Kiriyanova, [email protected] National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 30, Lenin avenue, Tomsk, 634050, Russia. Dependence of regional economy on resource-driven path is one of methodological and regional policy challenges. It is crucial to under- stand how to stimulate new paths creation in locked-in resource-driven regions. This paper highlights that new path can appear not only in diversified regional economy by intercrossing innovations or by branching process to related technological spheres. It is shown that tech- nological and infrastructure connectivity is not the only possible way for old industries to create a new one. Mining and tourism are often debated as sectors with conflict interests which never can co-exist in one region. In this article we offer the model to explain stages, inter- play between main agents of changes, mechanisms and regional assets in the emergence of the tourism industry in mining region in Western Siberia, Russia. The key findings reveal synergy of mining and tourism in region sustainability. It is demonstrated that financial resources, human resources, networks, access to external resources, lobbing resources of the «coal» path can serve critical inputs to create a «tourism» one. Economic interests and resources of private actors mainstreamed and supported by strategic interests of the pub- lic policy may create a new path. Model of unrelated diversification provides long-term sustainable development of the region and can be used in other Russian regions. -

How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country. -

Pleistocene Small Cave Bear (Ursus Rossicus) from the South Siberia, Russia Un Pequeño Oso De Las Cavernas (Ursus Rossicus) Del Sur De Siberia, Rusia
Cadernos Lab. Xeolóxico de Laxe ISSN: 0213-4497 Coruña. 2001. Vol. 26, pp. 373-398 Pleistocene small cave bear (Ursus rossicus) from the South Siberia, Russia Un pequeño Oso de las Cavernas (Ursus rossicus) del Sur de Siberia, Rusia BARYSHNIKOV, G.1, FORONOVA, I.2 AB S T R A C T The skull, mandibles and cheek teeth of U. rossicus from four localities of the South Siberia are examined. This species inhabited the steppe regions in early Middle and Late Pleistocene. By odontological characters it is more close to U. r. rossicus from Krasnodar, than to U. rossicus uralensis from Kizel Cave in Ural. Discriminant analysis, based on measurements of lower cheek teeth of the cave bears from seven sites of Europe and Siberia, demonstrated that U. rossicus most resembles morphometrically U. savini. As a result of cladistic analysis employed 17 characters of skull, limb bones, and dentition, the phylogenetic tree has been obtained for 7 species of the genus Ur s u s . A four species of the cave bears are included in the subgenus Spelearctos: U. savini, U. rossicus, U. denin - geri and U. spelaeus.
