Divergence in Seasonal Hydrology Across Northern Eurasia: Emerging Trends and Water Cycle Linkages M
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 114, D18119, doi:10.1029/2009JD011747, 2009 Click Here for Full Article Divergence in seasonal hydrology across northern Eurasia: Emerging trends and water cycle linkages M. A. Rawlins,1 H. Ye,2 D. Yang,3 A. Shiklomanov,4 and K. C. McDonald1 Received 13 January 2009; revised 16 June 2009; accepted 19 June 2009; published 24 September 2009. [1] Discharge from large Eurasia rivers increased during the 20th century, yet much remains unknown regarding details of this increasing freshwater flux. Here, for the three largest Eurasian basins (the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena) we examine the nature of annual and seasonal discharge trends by investigating the flow changes along with those for precipitation, snow depth, and snow water equivalent. On the basis of a multiperiod trend analysis and examination of station data, we propose two characteristic regimes to explain the long-term discharge increase from these large Eurasian rivers. Over the early decades from approximately 1936 to 1965, annual precipitation correlates well with annual discharge, and positive discharge trends are concurrent with summer/fall discharge increases. The latter decades were marked by a divergence between winter/ spring flows, which increased, amid summer/fall discharge declines. A comparison of cold season precipitation (CSP) and spring discharge trends across subbasins of the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena shows limited agreement with one precipitation data set but good agreement (R2 > 0.90) when a second is used. While natural variability in the Arctic system tends to mask these emerging trends, spatial and temporal changes can generally be characterized by increased solid precipitation, primarily to the north, along with a drier hydrography during the warm season. -

Monitoring Arctic Marine Ecosystems Achievement of the Year
Preserving biodiversity Gazprom Neft strives to minimise its impact on biodiversity in its operating regions. The company conducts environmental monitoring and assesses its impact on ecosystems while engaging with research institutions and governmental agencies and meeting legal requirements of the Russian Federation as well as internal corporate standards. Gazprom Neft has in place a corporate programme to preserve biodiversity, based on a list of plant and animal indicator species for healthy Arctic Maintaining environmental balance marine ecosystems. and preserving biodiversity are always given special consideration in The programme includes measures implemented by the company Gazprom Neft’s projects, especially around the Prirazlomnaya offshore ice-resistant stationary platform and in offshore and northern onshore Gazpromneft-Yamal assets and providing for wildlife monitoring along oil projects transportation routes. Gazprom Neft continues to drive a large-scale programme to study a rare Arctic animal listed in Russia’s Red Data Book of protected species – the narwhal (lat. Monodon monoceros, or the “unicorn of the sea”). Achievement of the Year In 2020, the “Narwhal: Legend of the Arctic” project won gold in the Video: “Achievement of the Year. Corporate Social Responsibility” category at One year on from the “Narwhal: Legend of the the prestigious international PR World Awards. The expert panel praised Arctic” expedition the outcomes of the project’s first expedition to the Russian Arctic and related communication campaign. Monitoring Arctic marine ecosystems Gazpromneft-Yamal has developed a roadmap for implementing the corporate Biodiversity Preservation Programme for 2020–2023 based on a list of plant and animal indicator species for a healthy Arctic marine ecosystem. -

R. Koporikov, S. B. Rakitin, P. A. Sibiryakov, and A. V. Borodin* Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Yekaterinburg, 620144 Russia *e-mail: [email protected] Received March 3, 2016; in final form, April 19, 2016 AbstractThe genetic variability of burbot (Lota lota L., 1758) inhabiting the Ob-Irtysh and Taz river basins in Western Siberia has been studied based on the polymorphism of the hypervariable fragment of mtDNA control region (407 bp). The analysis of 134 fish samples revealed 30 haplotypes, 23 of which were new. Among haplotypes, previously detected in Eurasia and North America, EB30 was the most frequently found in Western Siberia (45.5% frequency). The results of our study are in agreement with previous research point- ing to the genetic differentiation of two burbot subspecies, L. l. lota and L. l. maculosa, and indicate that bur- bot inhabiting the Ob-Irtysh and Taz river basins belong to the Eurasian-Beringian clade (nominative sub- species L. l. lota). However, a high genetic diversity of burbot in Western Siberia, along with a relatively high differentiation of burbot groups within studied territory, points to a regional specificity of burbot population. -
1 Background: the Khanty
Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10321-4 — The World of the Khanty Epic Hero-Princes Arthur Hatto Excerpt More Information 1 Background: The Khanty Khanty belong to the Ugrian branch of the Uralic peoples.1 The name Khanty (xαnti) goes back to the word for ‘clan, kindred, community’ in the Uralic proto-language; its cognates are Finnish kunta (as in kansakunta ‘nation’) and Hungarian had ‘army, war’ (‘kinship’ in Old Hungarian). The name Ostyak for the people and their language was used by Russians officially until 1930, when Khanty, the name the people use for themselves, became official. Until the late twentieth century the term Ostyak, despite its derogatory character in Siberia, remained in common use in the West. Territory and Population Although small in population, Khanty have their settlements and villages dispersed over a large area. Khanty live east of the Ural Mountains in Western Siberia in Russia, along the lower and middle regions of the Ob River and along its tributaries. These include, to the right of the Ob, the Polui, the Kunovat, the Kazym, the Nazym, the Lyamin, the Pim, the Tromyegan, the Agan and the Vakh; and to the left of the Ob, the Shchu- chya, the Synya, the Severnaya Sosva (called Sosva in the epics), the Irtysh (and its tributaries, the Demyanka and the Konda), the Bolshoy Salym, the Bolshoy Yugan and the Vasyugan. This territory, extending from the Urals in the west to the basin of the Ob in the east, has the historical name Yugra, a term for the Ugrian homeland and peoples that first appeared in medieval Arabic and Russian sources. -

Climate History and Early Peopling of Siberia
22 Climate History and Early Peopling of Siberia Jiří Chlachula Laboratory for Palaeoecology, Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Czech Republic 1. Introduction Siberia is an extensive territory of 13.1 mil km2 encompassing the northern part of Asia east of the Ural Mountains to the Pacific coast. The geographic diversity with vegetation zonality including the southern steppes and semi-deserts, vast boreal taiga forests and the northern Arctic tundra illustrates the variety of the present as well as past environments, with the most extreme seasonal temperature deviations in the World ranging from +45ºC to -80ºC. The major physiographical units – the continental basins of the Western Siberian Lowland, the Lena and Kolyma Basin; the southern depressions (the Kuznetsk, Minusinsk, Irkutsk and Transbaikal Basin); the Central Siberian Plateau; the mountain ranges in the South (Altai, Sayan, Baikal and Yablonovyy Range) and in the NE (Stavonoy, Verkhoyanskyy, Suntar-Hajata, Cherskego, Kolymskyy Range) constitute the relief of Siberia. The World- major rivers (the Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Kolyma River) drain the territory into the Arctic Ocean. Siberia has major significance for understanding the evolutionary processes of past climates and climate change in the boreal and (circum-)polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Particularly the central continental areas in the transitional sub-Arctic zone between the northern Siberian lowlands south of the Arctic Ocean and the southern Siberian mountain system north of the Gobi Desert characterized by a strongly continental climate regime have have been in the focus of most intensive multidisciplinary Quaternary (palaeoclimate, environmental and geoarchaeological) investigations during the last decades. Siberia is also the principal area for trans-continental correlations of climate proxy records across Eurasia following the East-West and South-North geographic transects (Fig.
