  • Forest Fires and Climate in Alaska and Sakha Forest Fires Near Yakutsk
    Forest Fires and Climate in Alaska and Sakha Forest Fires Near Yakutsk Hiroshi Hayasaka*, ** * Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, JAPAN ** CREST, JST (Japan Science and Technology Corporation) ABSTRACT This paper describes forest fires and weather in Alaska, North America and Sakha, Eastern part or Far East Siberia. Number of forest fires in Sakha is three times greater than that of Alaska. On the other hand, the mean annual burnt area in both places is almost the same and is about 2,400 km-2. Mean air temperature rise from 1830 in Yakutsk, Sakha was about 3OC. In Yakutsk, remarkable temperature rise begun from 1970’s. On the contrary, precipitation trend from 1890 shows gradual decreasing trend begun from 1970’s. Forest fire histories from the middle of 1950’s in Alaska and Sakha show that average burnt area become larger and larger from 1990’s. These climate trends push boreal forest very flammable. Under climate condition of higher air temperature and lower precipitation, large forest fires occurred near Yakustk, Sakha, in 2002. The cause of large forest fires is discussed from the climate point of view. Key words: Forest Fires, Hot Spot, Global Warming, Climate, Precipitation 1. INTRODUCTION The boreal forest or so-called Taiga is one of the largest contiguous forest areas in the world. Taiga becomes very flammable from spring to fall because total precipitation amount is only less than about 300mm. In addition, temperature rise due to global warming will make good conditions for forest fire. Fire incidence in high latitude may become to increase due to ongoing global warming because precipitation is low.

In particular, changes to local and global climate parameters influence vector and water-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. The Republic of Sakha in northern Russia is no exception. Long-term trends of increasing annual temperatures and thawing permafrost have corresponded with the northward range expansion of tick-species in the Republic. Indigenous communities living in these remote areas may be severely affected by human and livestock diseases introduced by disease vectors like ticks. To better understand the risk of vector-borne diseases in Sakha, we aimed to describe the Citation: Vladimirov, L.N.; increase and spatial spread of tick-bite cases in the Republic.

  • Northern Sea Route: Development Prospects and Uncertainties
    Northern Sea Route: Development Prospects and Uncertainties January 2020 Northern Sea Route: Development Prospects and Uncertainties In 2018, the Northern Sea Route development project was added to Russia’s “2019-2024 Comprehensive Long-Haul Infrastructure Modernization and Expansion Plan” with a budget of over RUB 580 billion (USD 9.25 billion). Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear agency, has announced plans to establish a commercial shipping company and compete with the largest companies in the container shipping business. On the global market, the idea of developing the Northern Sea Route has generated controversial discussions on ecology, climate change and strong competition in the market. The largest shippers and manufacturers, including CMA CGM, MSC and Nike, have stated they will not ship goods through the Arctic Ocean due to the high impact on the regional ecology. PwC has recently completed a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and threats related to developing the Northern Sea Route. Below, we summarize the major issues and challenges covered in our research. Who needs the Northern Sea Route? Although the Northern Sea Route was opened for The development of the Northern Sea Route took a international navigation back in 1991, step traffic new step forward when Yamal LNG facilities were dynamics was recorded only after 2012. The commissioned in 2017, followed by the inclusion of increase was driven by amendments to Federal Law the Northern Sea Route project in the “2019-2024 No. 155 “On Internal Waters, Territorial Sea and Comprehensive Long-Haul Infrastructure Contiguous Zone”, which legally defined the Modernization and Expansion Plan” with a total boundaries of the Northern Sea Route and budget of over RUB 580 billion for the next five established the Northern Sea Route Administration years.

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.

  • Rosatomflot's Tug Boat 'The PUR' Hoists National Flag
    Rosatomflot’s Tug Boat ‘The PUR’ Hoists National Flag 16 May 2016, Murmansk. Rosatomflot's tug boat ‘The PUR’, which will be providing services to the Yamal LNG Project, has hoisted the national flag. The multipurpose tug ‘The PUR’ has been built at the Kranship yard near Krasnodar as part of the Port Fleet Project (provision of port fleet services in Sabetta by Rosatomflot to Yamal LNG). This is an Arc 4, 3.86 MW tug with an open water speed of 14.4 knots. Its maximum draft is 4.93 meters, LOA – 30.87 meters and beam – 11.2 meters. This ship, which carries a crew of 10, has been named after a river in the Yamal Nenets Autonomous Region. “This tug opens up a new chapter in the history of Rosatomflot” – says Vyacheslav Ruksha, General Director of Atomflot, - “Our vessels will be providing a full scope of port fleet services in Sabetta. Together with the nuclear icebreakers, they will be escorting LNG carriers of 170 thousand cubic meters each. Once the liquefaction facility is put into operation, Rosatomflot will be assisting the LNG tankers entering the port every 39 hours. I have no doubt that The PUR’s crew will be up to the challenge”. “Very soon The PUR will begin its operation in Sabetta where it will be assisting at berthing and unberthing of cargo vessels” – says Yamal LNG General Director Evgeniy Kot, - “The total of five vessels - an icebreaker tug, a port ice breaker, and three ice class tugboats – are to be built at several Russian shipyards for Rosatomflot that will be supporting us under a contract for port fleet services from 2014 through to 2040”.
