Zinc and Lead Accumulation by Fucus Distichus (Fucales) in Coastal Waters of Southeastern Kamchatka and Commander Islands During 2000-2020 ZINC AND LEAD ACCUMULATION BY FUCUS DISTICHUS (FUCALES) IN COASTAL WATERS OF SOUTHEASTERN KAMCHATKA AND COMMANDER ISLANDS DURING 2000-2020 Liliya A. Pozolotina, Anna V. Klimova, Nina G. Klochkova Kamchatka State Technical University , Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russian Federation INTRODUCTION In the Far Eastern seas of Russia, Fucus distichus Linnaeus (1767) is widespread and dominant species of macrophytes in the littoral zone (Fig. 1). This fucoid can withstand long-term exposure to different contaminants (heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, phenols) and is a biomonitor of environmental pollution In the Far Eastern seas of Russia. The aim of this study was to determine changes in the content of zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) in F. distichus of Avacha Bay (southeastern Kamchatka) and Bering Island (Commander Islands) for twenty years. Avacha Bay is an anthropogenic impact area, Bering Island is a protected area, where the negative impact of human activity is minimal (Fig. 2). Figure 1. Plants of Fucus distichus in the coastal areas of Avacha Bay (southeastern Kamchatka) MATERIALS AND METHODS Avachinsky Fucus distichus recognized as an environmental pollution monitor Inlet species. Samples of algae were collected in the period 2000-2020. The material was carried out in the coastal areas of Avacha Bay and Bering Commander Islands Island (Commander Islands) (Fig. 2). The quantitative content of Zn and Pb was determined by the method of acid digestion of samples and the subsequent determination of the content of metals by the spectrochemical method. The generalization and processing of the obtained data was carried out by statistical methods. Concentration of Zn (Me±95SI) Concentration of Zn: Zn: 2016-2020 50 2000-2020 34.1 Figure 2.

Figure 3. Dynamics of Zn and Pb content in Fucus distichus during 2000- 2020. Algological material was collected in the coastal areas of Avacha Bay and Bering Island CONCLUSION The presented study of the Zn and Pb accumulation over two decades in the brown algae Fucus distichus (Fucales) showed the dependence of the accumulation of heavy metals on the growing place of the monitor species. Avacha Bay is characterized as an anthropogenic impact area. In F. distichus from Avacha Bay the maximum Zn content was seven times higher than the metal content in algae from the coastal areas of Bering Island. Similarly, the maximum Pb content in the analyzed material from Avacha Bay was more than two and a half times more than from the protected area of Bering Island, where the negative impact of human activity is minimal..

The ␦18O values of phenocrysts, in combination with numerical crystallization modeling (MELTS) and experimental fractionation factors, are used to derive best estimates of primary values for ␦18O(magma). Magmatic ␦18O values span 3.5‰ and are correlated with whole-rock Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes and major elements. Our data show that Kamchatka is a region of isotopic diversity with high-␦18O basaltic magmas (sampling mantle to lower crustal high-␦18O sources), and low-␦18O silicic volcanism (sampling low-␦18O upper crust). Among one hundred Holocene and Late Pleistocene eruptive units from 23 volcanic centers, one half represents low-␦18O magmas (ϩ4 to 5‰). Most low-␦ 18O magmas are voluminous silicic ignimbrites related to large Ͼ10 km3 caldera-forming eruptions and subsequent intracaldera lavas and domes: Holocene multi-caldera Ksudach volcano, Karymsky and Kurile Lake-Iliinsky calderas, and Late Pleistocene Maly Semyachik, Akademy Nauk, and Uzon calderas.

  • Water-Methane Geothermal Reservoirs in a South-West Foothills of Koryaksky Volcano, Kamchatka
    PROCEEDINGS, 46th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Stanford University, Stanford, California, February 15-17, 2021 SGP-TR-218 Water-Methane Geothermal Reservoirs in a South-West Foothills of Koryaksky Volcano, Kamchatka Alexey Kiryukhin1, Pavel Voronin1, Nikita Zhuravlev1, Galina Kopylova2 1 - Institute of Volcanology & Seismology FEB RAS, Piip 9, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, 683006, 2 - Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KB GS RAS) [email protected] Keywords: Geothermal, Kamchatka, Magma, Fracking, Production, Faults, Reservoirs, Volcanoes ABSTRACT The Ketkinsky geothermal reservoirs appears to be the product of magma and water injection from the Koryaksky volcano. Actual thermal supply may be carried out by magma injections in the form of sills in the depth range of -6 to -3 km abs. from the SW sector of the Koryaksky volcano. Water supply according to the isotopic composition of water is mixed: it is carried out through the structure of the Koryaksky volcano from above 2 km abs. and at the expense magmatic fluids. The system of the identified productive faults and magma fracking system is geometrically conjugated through some of the existing faults. Well E1 located above of the magma- hydrothermal connection above mentioned demonstrates water level change sensitivity to magma fracking events of Koryaksky volcano 2008-2009. Thus, Ketkinsky geothermal field appears to be the product of magma and water injection from the Koryaksky volcano. 1. INTRODUCTION The Avachinsko-Koryaksky volcanogenic basin with an area of 2530 km2 includes 5 quaternary volcanoes (2 of which Avachinsky (2750 m abs) and Koryaksky (3456 m abs) are active), sub-basins of volcanogenic-sedimentary Neogene-Quaternary deposits up to 1.4 km thick (Fig.

It is washed by the Pacifi c Ocean and Bering Strait to the east and the Sea of Okhotsk to the west. To the north, the oblast borders the Koryak Autonomous Okrug, which covers the northern section of the peninsula. Kamchatka also includes the Komandorskie (Commander) Islands within its administrative territory. Size 70,800 sq. km (17.2 million ha). Climate The infl uence of the Pacifi c Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk makes Kamchatka’s climate milder than continental parts of the rfe. In general, winters are long with heavy snows, and summers are short, cool, and rainy. Heavy fog and sudden changes in atmospheric pressure are common. Annual precipitation is 50–100 cm, with average temperatures ranging from –11°c in February to 14°c in July.1 Geography and ecology Located on the Pacifi c Rim of Fire, Kamchatka has 29 active volcanoes, 186 geysers, countless boiling mud cauldrons, steam vents, fumaroles, and other forms of volcanic ac- tivity.

Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and fluid inclusions were used to investigate the samples. It was found that copper mineralization in agates is represented by native copper, copper sulphides (chalcocite, djurleite, digenite, anilite, yarrowite, rarely chalcopyrite) and cuprite. In addition to copper minerals, sphalerite and native silver were also found in the agates. Native copper is localized in a siliceous matrix in the form of inclusions usually less than 100 microns in size—rarely up to 1 mm—forming dendrites and crystals of a cubic system. Copper sulphides are found in the interstices of chalcedony often cementing the marginal parts of spherule aggregates of silica. In addition, they fill the micro veins, which occupy a cross-cutting position with respect to the concentric bands of chalcedony.

    NOT FOR PUBLICATION PHC-20 WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS MORE CLOUTFOR RUSSIA'S PROVINCES KAMCHATKA AND THE POLITICS OF RESOURCE USE ON THE EVE OF ELECTIONS. 1993 October 31, 1993 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Russia Mr. Peter Bird Martin, Executive Director The Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 Dear Peter, Moscow's Bloody Sunday was a spectacle to send a chill up the spine of any teedom-loving person. Historians may later find justification for the sad events surrounding the burning of the White House, but from here, it looked like a Mafia shootout writ large, and nothing more. The two eternal riddles of Russian politics--chto delat, what is to be done, and kto vinovat, who is to blame--were solved the same brutal way they have been since the time of the Czars. What is to be done?--annihilate the enemy! Who is to blame?--the vanquished! Any optimism I felt about the resolution of the two year stand-off of political dual power--dvoyevlastiye--that has paralyzed Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union vanished when I saw the violence used to bring it about. The Russian Federation government's greatest contribution to democracy may be that, during its flabby and aimless reign, it has graphically shown the waste and futility of trying to direct all of the activities of the gigantic Russian state from a single center. President Yeltsin vanquished Khasbulatov, Rutskoi, and their followers, but the hardest tasks still lie ahead. Russia has changed in ways few predicted during the first flush of 'democratization' following the attempted August 1991 Coup.
