These guides compare educational systems from around the world to educational standards inC anada. The assessment recommendations contained in the guides are based on extensive research and well documented standards and criteria. This research project, a first in Canada, is based on a broad range of international resources and considerable expertise within the IQAS program. Organizations can use these guides to make accurate and efficient decisions regarding the recognition of international credentials. The International Education Guides serve as a resource comparing Alberta standards with those of other countries, and will assist all those who need to make informed decisions, including: • employers who need to know whether an applicant with international credentials meets the educational requirements for a job, and how to obtain information comparing the applicant’s credentials to educational standards in Alberta and Canada • educational institutions that need to make a decision about whether a prospective student meets the education requirements for admission, and that need to find accurate and reliable information about the educational system of another country • professional licensing bodies that need to know whether an applicant meets the educational standards for licensing bodies The guides include: • a country overview • a historical education overview • descriptions of school education; higher education; professional, technical and vocational education; teacher education • grading scales • educational credentials documentation • a bibliography • placement recommendations for comparison with established standards and application in Alberta, Canada Prepared by

This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Variability in planktonic community caused by sub-mesoscale eddies and spatial features of the Baltic Sea coast Elena Kudryavtseva, Tatiana Bukanova, Sergey Aleksandrov, Sergey Mosharov, Olga Dmitrieva, Anastasia Melnik, Alexander Krek, and Elena Ezhova Shirshov Institute of oceanology RAS, Russian Federation ([email protected]) Our study examines the features of photosynthetic processes that occurred in the coastal area of the south-eastern Baltic Sea during the advanced phase of intensive summer bloom of 2018. We aim for a better understanding of short-time variability in primary production coupled with planktonic composition and phytoplankton functional activity in relation to location of nutrients sources on the coast and sub-mesoscale eddies, which appear over the coastal slope of Cape Taran and move alongside the Sambia Peninsula coast. These two-day studies, conducted on board of research vessels, represent a snapshot of a highly variable ecosystem alongside the Sambia Peninsula and Curonian Spit at the end of summer. Satellite images of sea surface temperatures and chlorophyll «a» concentration were also used for identification of spatial variations and eddies; the circulation conditions were derived from the operational system SatBaltyk. Across the coastal area, the effects of physico-chemical conditions influenced the phytoplankton composition and photosynthetic activity. In the south, the hot weather as well as the impacts of the Vistula Lagoon and the Amber combine affected the increase of nutrients and caused the strongest cyanobacterial bloom.

The mean annual rate of coastline retreat and advance was esti- mated in general for each of the four major morpholithodynamic segments of the coastline: the Vistula (−0:2 m/year) and Curonian (−0:4 m/year) spits, as well as the western (−0:5 m/year) and northern (−0:2 m/year) shores of the Sambia Peninsula. The analysis of the shore protec- tion measures implemented in Kaliningrad Oblast from 2007 to 2017 showed that the length of protected shore segments increased by 30% to 14.5 km, which is 10% of the total coast- line. The obtained scheme of long-term mean annual rates of coastline retreat and advance clearly demonstrates an uneven distribution of eroded segments along the shores of Kalin- ingrad Oblast, however the sea shore of Kaliningrad Oblast is mainly susceptible to erosion (44%).

Qualitative and quantitative composition of microplastics particles during the expeditionary measurement program in the South-Eastern Baltic Sea Elena Esiukova, Margarita Bagaeva, and Natalia Chubarenko Atlantic branch of P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS, Laboratory for Marine Physics, Kaliningrad, Russian Federation ([email protected]) According to the tasks of the Russian Science Foundation project “Physical and dynamical properties of marine microplastics particles and their transport in a basin with vertical and horizontal salinity gradient on the example of the Baltic Sea” number 15-17-10020, a comprehensive expeditionary program of measurements in the South- Eastern Baltic started. The project is aimed at finding solutions for a number of problems caused by superfluous plastic pollution in the World Ocean and, in particular, in the Baltic Sea. This pollution has been accumulating for years and just recently it has become obvious that only multidisciplinary approach (geographical, biological, chemical, etc.) to the issues related to the processes of transformation of properties and propagation of plastic particles will allow the study of physical aspects of the problem. During the first stage of the study samples should be selected from the water surface, water column at various horizons, bottom sediments in the Baltic Sea, from different areas at the beaches – in order to further examine the qualitative and quantitative composition of microplastic particles in different seasons for different hydrophysical situations. Reconnaissance survey was begun to choose the fields for research close to point and distributed sources of microplastics.

Coastal dynam- ics of the eastern Gulf of Finland, the Baltic Sea: toward a quantitative assessment. Baltica, 31 (1), 49–62. Vilnius. ISSN 0067-3064. Manuscript submitted 28 March 2018 / Accepted 21 May 2018 / Published online 28 June 2018 © Baltica 2018 Abstract The easternmost part of the Gulf of Finland is characterized by intense coastal processes dominated by wave erosion. Reliable prediction of the coastal zone development, as well as effective strategy for coastal protection, demands a quantitative assessment of beach transformation and volume of sediment loss as a result of extreme storms. The main goal of this study based on results of terrestrial laser scanning was to establish volumes of eroded, transported, and redeposited sand during storm surge events that occurred between 2012 and 2017, and to verify a mathematical model of beach profile changes within key areas located in the Ku- rortny District of St. Petersburg (Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea), where the longest set of levelling and terrestrial laser scanning was conducted. The resulting detailed 3D GIS models of coastal relief, based on high-resolution geodesic surveys, produced a highly reliable database of beachface transformation under the extreme storm impact and quantitative assessment of erosion volumes and sediment loss.

    CASE STUDIES: INTERNAL STATUS REPORT BalticRIM WP 3: GoA 3.4/O3.4 Coordinated by: Coastal Research and Planning Institute Introduction. This is a complimentary exercise in order to trace the progress and the level of UCH/MCH topic integration into the official MSP. Case studies do reflect the changes while understanding, recognizing and utilizing the underwater cultural heritage objects as a sensitive and valuable assets and further more – guides through the different levels of UCH/MCH recognition, classification, regulatory framework and formal introduction into the planning documents on the equal rights as other sea uses are. Description of the BalticRIM project case studies aims to show the status before and progress after the project implementation. The UCH/MCH as a topic integration into the national MSP requires different functional components to be established: - Institutional set-up to provide, update and document the relevant information/datasets; - Proper database with clear categorization and description of the assets; - Principles of determination of level of protection (no go, highly protected, under research, open for recreational/educational purposes or similar) and/or utilization character (for science, tourism, education, other); - Delineation of the “to-be-established MCH/UCH” site including location map and the description of the assets; - Status of introduction (under investigation, recommended, potential – introduced and under development, established and regulated, under revision etc.) in to the national planning documents (MSP, regional development plan, or others). Case study description should help understanding - what is/was the status before the project is started, what are the initiatives/activities planned within the project framework, what results are to be expected at the end of the project.

Khmelnitskiy str., 28–30, Russia; edwin_zalc- [email protected] ABSTRACT The article characterises new materials obtained in the course of stud- ies of Neolithic (according to the Baltic periodisation) settlements of the Vistula Lagoon coast. These sources according to all their fea- tures belong to the Funnel Beaker culture, whose monuments were previously unknown in the region. All Funnel Beaker materials were identified in settlements, the main cultural complexes of which be- long to the Primorskaya culture. Small sites of the Funnel Beaker culture existed here before the arrival of the Primorskaya population. In Ushakovo 3, Funnel Beaker pottery were found in the cultural layer in the eastern part of the excavation area, where it lies mainly separate from ceramics of the Primorskaya culture. In Pribrezhnoye, in addition to pottery, traces of two constructions with a double-row pillar wall structure were found. Buildings were of a ground type, elongated, with a width of not more than 3.20 m. Technological and morphological characteristics of ceramic fragments found within the buildings leave no doubt that these complexes belong to the Funnel Beaker culture. Also, two amphorae with typical features of the ‘badenised’ Funnel Beaker culture were revealed here.

  • Concentration of Heavy Metals and Petroleum Hydrocarbon in The
    CONCENTRATION OF HEAVY METALS AND OIL PRODUCTS IN THE SEABED SEDIMENTS OFF THE COAST OF THE CURONIAN SPIT (THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE BALTIC SEA) Alexander Krek, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Atlantic Branch of P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, I. Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad, Russia [email protected] During spring and summer (2014) environmental investigations of the sea coastal zone, conducted in the frameworks of the Baltberegozaschita (Kaliningrad) program, determinations of content of heavy metals and oil products in the bottom sediments along the shore of the northern coast of the Kaliningrad Region were performed. The highest values of their contents were found in the middle part of the Curonian Spit (near the border with Lithuania). According to Swedish classification WGMS 2003-SSQC these values correspond to the highest 4 and 5 Classes of Contamination. At the Curonian Spit, which is a protected area, unknown any significant sources of anthropogenic pollution. Supposedly, the origin of the detected anomaly is connected with influence of along shore bed load, directed from abrasive coast of the Sambia Peninsula along the Curonian Spit, to its middle part, where accumulation of sedimentary material is dominated. The shore of the Sambia Peninsula is much more populated and used for recreational purposes, and can therefore be considered as a possible source of contamination. Key words: Southeastern Baltic Sea, alongshore suspended sediment transport, seabed sediments contamination by heavy metals and oil products I.
