Biographical Information

In 1911 Aleksander Stenbock-Fermor, a Russian aristocrat, offered the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, a well-preserved mammoth from Lyakhowskiy Island, New Siberian Isles. This paper presents a hitherto unpublished memorandum that Stenbock-Fermor addressed to Edmond Perrier, the Museum's director, which related the circumstances surrounding the discovery, removal and transportation of the mammoth from Siberia to St Petersburg and thence to Paris. The paper also presents some biographical information on Konstany Wołłossowicz, who explored Siberia and who organized the expedition to Lyakhowskiy Island in order to bring the mammoth to Europe.

In the Russian Arctic, a soil cryostructuring technique (i.e. strengthening of soil horizons with cryogel-based composite materials with no excavation of unstable soils required) seems to be showing promise. Experiments have proven that mechanical and thermal insulation properties attributed to cryogels make them appropriate for use in strengthening and thermally insulating the soil, while their structure makes it possible to form a stable vegetation cover. Field experiments have confirmed that cryostructuring efficiently strengthens the soil layer with cryogels stimulating soil microflora. An experience of using cryotropic compositions in the oil and gas sector was described. Notably, cryogels can be used to strengthen unstable soil foundations of trunk pipelines, as well as to bind soil (e.g. on slopes). In addition, cryogels are advised for use in engineering protection to prevent the uneven settlement of a trench base and its creep: thus, cryogels are pumped into the soil of the trench bottom base to create a support system representing a spatial lattice. After the first freeze and thaw cycle, cryotropic material is formed and then increases its strength and elasticity with each new cycle. More broadly, opportunities have been considered regarding cryogels used in various engineering and geological conditions, while taking into account the outcomes of landscape and territorial analysis. It was concluded that cryogel-based composite materials are a promising innovative scientific field expanding technological capabilities for developing and using spaces and resources in the Russian Arctic.
