Introduction. The nutrition of the Nenets in the Arctic zone of Western Siberia is mainly based on traditional products (raw (thermally unprocessed) local fish and venison), which is the most important factor of survival in the Arctic. Storing up food products for an extended period is not relevant for the Nenets. Climate change and industrial development in the Arctic primarily affect the seasonality of consumption. Changing the calendar of fish and venison harvesting leads to greater use of imported and canned local food, increasing the length of the periods when local food completely disappears from the diet of the Nenets. Material and methods. During the expeditions to the national villages of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, cross-sectional screening studies were performed, in which 985 Nenets people took part. Nutritional analysis was conducted using the questionnaire method based on an album of portions and dishes. Retrospective information was collected on the seasonality of consumption of reindeer products and local fisheries (the length of the period when unserved fish and venison are available). Results. The consumption of reindeer and river fishery products is seasonal. The duration of the season of venison consumption was from 150±14.0 to 180±21.0, and raw fish - from 120±14.0 to 200±21.0 days. Despite the high level of consuming reindeer products per season, the average annual consumption of venison by Nenets in the Arctic zone of Western Siberia was 240 g/day/person that is less than in the central regions of the Russian Federation and industrially developed countries. In the studied area, the average annual consumption of fish (171.5 g/day/person) is three times higher than the average consumption in the Russian Federation. However, increased consumption of traditional food is typically only during the season of fishing or slaughtering reindeer. The average annual consumption reduced; during the off-season, the share of easily digestible carbohydrates in the diet increased. Conclusion. The creation of fish and venison stocks in villages and their year-round sale to the population is a necessary step in ensuring the food security of the Nenets people.

The article is devoted to the use of GIS technology for the control of swamp areas and environmental problems associated with the drainage of swamps in the industrial development of the West Siberian region, the main functions of swampy areas in the biosphere. The study examines the problems of drainage of swampy lands on the example of the territory of Western Siberia. Problems of the “greenhouse effect” and global climate warming, as well as problems of degradation and conservation of permafrost in the cryolithozone. It is established that swamps, as a natural mechanism for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, are the only land geosystems with a constant flow of atmospheric carbon there. The problem associated with gas hydrates and the possibility of activation of microorganisms during the degradation of permafrost has been identified. To date, in the course of scientific experiments and studies based on the observation method, it has been established that natural gas hydrates are extremely sensitive to various technogenic factors.

Most of Russia’s oil and gas resources are located in Western Siberia, which is an environmentally fragile area, a home for indigenous peoples, and one of the world’s greatest land-based sinks for carbon dioxide emissions. Russian oil and gas development over the last fifty years has had significant environmental impacts on Western Siberia and may also have affected the world environment by adding to global warming. The Tyumen Region is one of the biggest administrative regions in the area. 60 per cent of Russia’s oil reserves and 80 per cent of Russia’s gas reserves are located in the northern territories of the Tyumen Region, much on its continental shelf. The legislation governing environmental protection on the federal and regional level lacks clear-cut rules and measures that can safeguard one of the world’s most valuable environmental areas. Another negative impact of oil and gas development is the disturbance to indigenous peoples who have populated the northern Siberian territories for thousands of years. Today, protection of their territories and traditional way of life in the areas of industrial development is insufficient. The authors analyse the Russian environmental regulations of oil and gas, outline main shortcomings and formulate some legal measures that should be incorporated into federal legislation and legislation of the Tyumen Region.

Abstract Productive deposits of the Turonian age as part of the Kuznetsovskaya Formation are cover the eastern part of Western Siberia (Figure 1), but until recently they were not of wide industrial interest. Today, most of the gas reserves in Western Siberia are produced in the Cenomanian deposits, which are in the stage of declining production. The productivity of the deposits above Cenomanian layer has been established in many fields where the Cenomanian formations are productive. In general, in Western Siberia in the Turonian deposits, there are more than 3 trillion cubic meters of gas, which allows us to consider them as high-potential sources of gas reserves. The main difficulties in the industrial development of Turonian deposits are reduced permeability, high dissection, high content of clay fraction, high macro- and microheterogeneity of the reservoir, inconsistency of effective thicknesses in plan and section. In turn, the relatively low temperature of the reservoir predetermines the operation of the field in a mode close to hydration (Avramenko et all., 2019). Under these conditions, a good petrophysical baseline is essential to assess the exploration potential of the assets and design the development of the reservoir. Shaly gas-saturated formations are not a simple object for petrophysical modeling. Adding to this the low quality of the core material caused by the weak cementation of shallow deposits, we get a very nontrivial problem. On the other hand, modern horizontal well development scenarios dictate their requirements for petrophysical models. In other words, the petrophysical model must maintain its stability for any well logging regardless of the well trajectory (vertical or horizontal) and the logging method conveyance (wireline or while drilling). The authors of the paper carried out work on the development of a universal petrophysical model of the Turonian reservoir, for one of the fields in the region of the north of Western Siberia, based on a modern extended GIS complex.

Abstract The north of Western Siberia is a region that in a historically short time went from a hub of territorial development, where it was only necessary to control the volume of extraction of certain resources, to a zone of extensive industrial development of vast territories with the need for comprehensive environmental protection. The models of embedding the north of Western Siberia into the socioeconomic space of the USSR were simultaneously based on the need to develop the region’s rich natural resources and to rationally use them. At their core was an industrial standard. In the 1930s–1950s, this industrial standard depended on the use of biological resources, where the main producer of material wealth was the Indigenous inhabitants of the north. Yet it failed. A need arose to rely on resources with a more powerfully transformative and modernizing potential. These resources became hydrocarbons. Beginning in the 1960s, the model of natural resource use in the north was reoriented towards the extraction of oil and gas. The favorable market conditions and large export potential of these resources made it possible to solve not only economic but also ideological tasks. The main producer of material goods became the migrant population, which had the necessary professional and social skills to translate the industrial standard into practice. The Indigenous peoples of the north found themselves on the sidelines of socioeconomic development. A stereotype took root in Soviet society and science that the main object of management and transformation should be nature, which can be modified unlimitedly and at any speed. At the same time, it is obvious that technological and socioeconomic mechanisms are more, not less, malleable than natural ones. A person in the “human-nature” system was considered utilitarianly, exclusively from an economic standpoint. All of this speaks to the need to better understand the historical experience of state environmental management in northern Siberia and the role of people in this process.

The phenomenon of economic growth is studied by economists and statisticians in various aspects for a long time. Economic theory is devoted to assessing factors of growth in the tradition of R. Solow, R. Barrow, W. Easterly and others. During the last quarter of the century, however, the institutionalists, namely D. North, D. Wallis, B. Weingast as well as D. Acemoglu and J. Robinson, have shown the complexity of the problem of development on the part of socioeconomic and political institutions. As a result, solving the problem of how economic growth affects inequality between countries has proved extremely difficult. The modern world is very diverse in terms of development level, and the article offers a new approach to the formation of the idea of stylized facts using cluster analysis. The existing statistics allows to estimate on a unified basis the level of GDP production by 174 countries of the world for 1992—2016. The article presents a structured picture of the world: the distribution of countries in seven clusters, different in levels of development. During the period under review, there was a strong per capita GDP growth in PPP in the middle of the distribution, poverty in various countries declined markedly. At the same time, in 1992—2016, the difference increased not only between rich and poor groups of countries, but also between clusters.

The growth in horticultural and some industrial development in selected areas of Northland has led to a need for more specific and careful planning and control of limited resources in a number of major catchments. The potential irrigation demands for horhculture comprise over 60% of Northland's potential water requirements. By contrast, farm water supply needs are only 11% of these needs. Because of their importance to the Northland economy, and in the legislation these needs are given a high priority in water resource management planning. Land uses, including pastoral farming, require careful operation to reduce diffuse sources of pollution.
