    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.

Rouxel, email address : [email protected] Abstract : The input of iron to the Arctic Ocean plays a critical role in the productivity of aquatic ecosystems and is potentially impacted by climate change. We examine Fe isotope systematics of dissolved and colloidal Fe from several Arctic and sub-Arctic rivers in northern Eurasia and Alaska. We demonstrate that the Fe isotopic (δ56Fe) composition of large rivers, such as the Ob’ and Lena, has a restricted range of δ56Fe values ca.–0.11 ± 0.13‰, with minimal seasonal variability, in stark contrast to smaller organic-rich rivers with an overall δ56Fe range from–1.7 to + 1.6‰.

Taking into consideration relatively high rate of denudation in gypsum caves we have used simplified MEM measurement method. Observation of hydrological situation suggests that most of the dissolution in caves of the area occurs during a few days of spring flood. Here we report results of measurement at 62 points located at 6 sites for the period from 2003 to 2012. Data analysis gives us average retreat rate of 0.0448 mm/day, while point is underwater. Confidence interval for this value is 0.0379 to 0.0516 mm/day. 1. Introduction annual rainfall 560 mm. The coldest month – January (average long-term temperature -13.0 °C).

Until further information and data become available, this set of monthly discharges for 316 river and stream gauges in Russia and FSU republics and the associated metadata are about as clean and complete as can presently be obtained from freely available data sources. No doubt errors and discrepancies remain in the metadata and discharge records. Anyone data set users who uncover further errors and other discrepancies are invited to report them to NCAR.

The initial work was done in great haste during summer 1997. On obtaining some additional data sets in late 1998, I reworked the comparative analysis.

Project work plan: status and reports on the project actions implemented in 2012 3.1 Sampling: coastal, estuary and rivers – status and numbers Norway – coastal samples Eero Niemelä highlighted the coastal sampling in northern Norway and the status for scale analysis and ecological work implemented by FGFRI. Number of fishermen in 2012: Nordland – 5, Troms – 10 and Finnmark – 38 (total: 53). Better coverage of the outermost coastal line in 2012 than in 2011 – however some challenges with obtaining optimal spatial and temporal sampling for Tanafjord and inner parts of mid Troms County. Old recaptures from marking studies indicates where Tana salmon is caught – seems to correspond with the very, very preliminary assignments shown by Juha-Pekka Vähä from UTU-Kevo. Number of obtained samples in 2012; Finnmark 6699 wild + 560 (=8%) escaped salmon. Troms: 3183 salmon and Nordland: 754 salmon; altogether 11 196 salmon. FGFRI have visited most of the fishermen in Finnmark, controlling and advising in the sampling and also documenting the fishery.
