The article discusses the state and prospects for the development of re- newable energy sources (RES) in the leading countries of the world and in Russia. It has been established that in recent years renewable energy has experienced rapid growth, which on the one hand is associated with environmental problems and the lack of traditional energy sources, and on the other, with measures of state support for RES. In this regard, the experience of China, the USA, Germany and other countries on measures of state support for investment in RES is considered. It is shown that thanks to the measures taken, the cost of electricity received from RES is very close to the price of electricity from traditional sources. The state of RES in Russia, which has enormous resources of non-traditional energy sources, is considered. At the same time, the share of RES in Russia in comparison with other advanced countries still remains small. However, in the future, thanks to measures taken by the Russian government in recent years, a positive shift in this energy sector has been observed.

  • Effect of Subduction Zones on the Structure of the Small-Scale Currents at Core-Mantle Boundary
    Effect of Subduction Zones on the Structure of the Small-Scale Currents at Core-Mantle Boundary. Sergey Ivanov1, Irina Demina1, Sergey Merkuryev1,2 1St-Petersburg Filial of Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio wave Propagation (SPbF IZMIRAN) 2Saint Petersburg State University, Institute of Earth Sciences Universitetskaya nab., 7-9, St. Petersburg, 199034, Russia [email protected] Abstract. The purpose of this work is to compare kinematics of small-scale current vortices located near the core-mantle boundary with high-speed anomalies of seismic wave velocity in the lowest mantle asso- ciated with the subduction zones. The small-scale vortex paths were early obtained by the authors in the frame of the macro model of the main geomagnetic field sources. Two sources were chosen whose kine- matics are characterized by the complete absence of the western drift and whose paths have a very com- plex shape. Both sources are located in the vicinity of the subduction zones characterized by the extensive coherent regions with increased speed of seismic waves in the lowest mantle. One of them is geograph- ically located near the western coast of Canada and the second one is located in the vicinity of Sumatra. For this study we used the global models of the heterogeneities of seismic wave velocity. It was obtained that the complex trajectories of the vortices is fully consistent with the high-speed anomalies of seismic wave velocity in the lowest mantle. It can be assumed that mixing up with the matter of the lowest man- tle, the substance of the liquid core rises along the lowest mantle channel and promotes its further in- crease.

  • Crystal Structures of Minerals in the Lower Mantle
    6 Crystal Structures of Minerals in the Lower Mantle June K. Wicks and Thomas S. Duffy ABSTRACT The crystal structures of lower mantle minerals are vital components for interpreting geophysical observations of Earth’s deep interior and in understanding the history and composition of this complex and remote region. The expected minerals in the lower mantle have been inferred from high pressure‐temperature experiments on mantle‐relevant compositions augmented by theoretical studies and observations of inclusions in natural diamonds of deep origin. While bridgmanite, ferropericlase, and CaSiO3 perovskite are expected to make up the bulk of the mineralogy in most of the lower mantle, other phases such as SiO2 polymorphs or hydrous silicates and oxides may play an important subsidiary role or may be regionally important. Here we describe the crystal structure of the key minerals expected to be found in the deep mantle and discuss some examples of the relationship between structure and chemical and physical properties of these phases. 6.1. IntrODUCTION properties of lower mantle minerals [Duffy, 2005; Mao and Mao, 2007; Shen and Wang, 2014; Ito, 2015].

  • Origin and Evolution of Asthenospheric Layers
    Two mechanisms of formation of asthenospheric layers L. Czechowski and M. Grad Institute of Geophysics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw Ul. Pasteura 5, 02-093 Warszawa, Poland Phone: +48 22 5532003 E-mail: [email protected] Corresponding author: Leszek Czechowski: [email protected] The theory of plate tectonics describes some basic global tectonic processes as a result of motion of lithospheric plates. The boundary between lithosphere and asthenosphere (LAB) is defined by a difference in response to stress. Position of LAB is determined by: (i) the ratio (melting temperature)/( temperature) and (ii) an invariant of the stress tensor. We consider the role of these both factors for origin and decay of asthenosphere. We find that the asthenosphere of shear stress origin could be a transient, time-dependent feature. Key words: asthenosphere, evolution, LAB, origin of asthenosphere 1. Introduction The plate tectonics theory describes some of the basic tectonic processes on the Earth as motion of lithospheric plates. The plates are moved by large-scale thermal convection in the mantle. The lithosphere is mechanically resistant. Its thickness varies from ~50 to ~250 km. The lithosphere is underlain by the asthenosphere. The boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere (LAB) is defined by a difference in response to stress: the asthenosphere deforms viscously. The bulk of asthenosphere is not melted (1), but at the deformation rate typical for the mantle convection (about 10-14 s-1) it behaves as a fluid with the viscosity η of about 5 1019 kg m-1 s-1. The mantle below has higher effective viscosity (e.g.

The depth of this discontinuity varies, perhaps by as much as 100 km and is variously referred to as the "650-km discontinuity" or "670-km discontinuity." In recent Earth models there is a region of high velocity gradient for another 50 to 100 km below the discontinuity. This is probably due to phase changes, but it could represent a chemical gradient. The "lower mantle proper" therefore does not start until a depth of about 750 or 800 km. Below this depth the lower mantle is relatively homogeneous until about 300 km above the core-mantle boundary. If there is a chemical difference between the upper and lower mantle then, in a convecting dynamic mantle, the boundary will not be at a fixed depth. This clarification is needed because of the controversy about whether slabs penetrate into the lower mantle or whether they just push down the discontinuity. core. The Lower Mantle and Core I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth.
