The study of the White Sea region and the adjacent area aimed to model the structure of the crystalline portion of the crust at the contact of the northeastern slope of the Fennoscandian Shield and the Russian Plate. Modeling was based on geological, geophysical and DSS profile data, State Geological Map of the Russian Federation (scale 1:1 000 000), Explanatory Notes to Sheets Q-35, 36, 37, and 38 (third generation, 2009), and Tectonic Map of the White Sea and Adjacent Areas (2012). A model was constructed using GIS INTEGRO software (VNIIgeosystems), specifically its procedures for calculation and visualization of 2D and 3D models showing crust density and magnetic fields. The model of the study area shows the structure of the crust and the characteristics of its horizons.

The purpose of the article is to introduce into scientific circulation little-known and controversial objects made of stones discovered during our field surveys in 2019 on the Tersk Coast of the White Sea near the Khlebnaya River. The monument consists of 27 boulder structures of four types: ring-shaped layouts with a recess in the center –– boulder pits (24), “seid”, “pile”, a flat boulder with stones laid on it. Boulder pits within the borders of the Russian Federation are found in the coastal zone of the Western and Northern White Sea regions and the Barents Sea. The distribution of such objects is noted in Finnmark and Finnish Lapland and correlates with the area of historical settlement of local Sami groups. We tend to interpret the “boulder pits” as objects associated with non-Christian cult practices, possibly of a funerary nature.

Based on the analysis of statistical information, the authors consider the water economy development in three constituent entities of the Russian Federation that have the greatest impact on the ecosystem of the White Sea — the Republic of Karelia, Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions — in conjunction with the socio-economic conditions for the development of the region. The authors estimate the current scale and dynamics of total water consumption and its components (industrial, communal, agricultural and fishery) for the period 2010—2017. They outline that the main water consumer remains the industry, with a minimal development of agriculture, and note that the development of the region is taking place against the background of a constant decrease in the population (by 28% over the period under review), which also determines a decrease in the volume of water consumption, both total (by 10%) and, especially, household water (by 37%). In addition, there is a constant decrease in the volume of agricultural water consumption. Surface water bodies are the main source of water resources. Groundwater accounts for only 8%. Seawater is also used to a small extent, and its share has dropped significantly in recent years. The provision of renewable water resources (river runoff) is high and exceeds the national average with a low utilization rate. Currently, the water bodies of the region are under heavy pressure from various industries, as well as water transport and other water users. The volume of wastewater disposal and the degree of purification during the period under review remains practically stable. However, about 35% of the total volume of wastewater discharged annually is contaminated and insufficiently treated, which determines the threat of serious risks to the freshwater and marine ecosystems of the region.

A new chronostratic scheme of South-East (SE) Fennoscandia has been developed, based on the International Stratigraphie Scale, taking into account some elements of the Common Stratigraphic Scale of Russia and the regional stratigraphic scheme of the North-West (NW) of Russian Federation. A rank of Archean and Proterozoic stratons has been determined (including supersystems for Riphean and Archean geonotems), compatable in dutation to the Phanerozoic systems (Mesozoic and Paleozoic ones). An original coloring for the geological maps of the newly allocated systems and their analogues in the Precambrian, as well as the digital indexing of all stratons of the rank of systems instead of the traditional alphabetic one, have been proposed. Based on the extensive geological materials of the Institute of Geology of Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in view of the new approaches and reliable geochronological data, an areal geological map of SE Fennoscandia in scale 1: 750 000 has been created, which includes the territory of Karelia and adjacent areas of the Russian Federation and eastern Finland. The proposed chronostratic scheme can serve as a basis for developing legends of small-scale state geological maps of the new generation, especially in the regions of the Precambrian development.

The article proposes the creation of personal electronic offices within the ISOD of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia for law enforcement officers who are able to solve gaps in the methodological support of official activities. The basic problem directions of methodical maintenance of professional activity of employees of expert divisions are considered. Part of the article deals with the organization of methodological support of new relevant types of forensic examinations, such as: construction and technical, video, automotive, computer, radio, describes the basic functionality of a single system of information and analytical support of the Ministry of internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (ISOD MIA). The author noted that one of the main criteria, the presence of which must necessarily be contained in the virtual offices of ATS experts is relevant information. So it is offered to reflect in private offices the following information: data on the tolerances available for the employee on independent production of judicial examinations; data on improvement of qualifications, with possibility of their increase in the mode on-line; actual information on the latest and already existing techniques on examinations on the right of production of which the expert has the confirmed admissions; information on instrument base on each type of examinations on which there is an active admission (with indication of the nearest availability); electronic library of literature, including secret, corresponding to the level of admission to it from the expert, with the possibility of acquaintance; electronic collections of forensic objects (if possible 3D models), with examples of their descriptions, the main features and in some cases the functional purpose, the exact size.

The resistance of community flora is growing slowly. Nevertheless, clinical value of actual resistance of the respiratory, skin, soft tissue and urological pathogens is increasing in relation to macrolides, penicillin, quinolones that demands on the introduction of new antibiotics. Cefditoren pivoxil appeared rather recently in the Russian Federation. Results of microbiological and clinical comparative trials showed its high efficiency and safety as an alternative to the applied antibiotics.

Analysis of materials of the State Geological Map 1 : 1 000 000 (3rd generation) for the southern Sakha–Yakutiya territory in the course of compilation of the Minerogenic forecast map of the Russian Federation and its continental shelf, 1 : 2 500 000, and of the Map of the distribution regularities and forecast for porphyry goldcopper, large-tonnage black-shale gold, and epithermal gold deposits of the Russian Federation, 1 : 2 500 000, has allowed the authors to substantiate distinguishing the new Aldan-Vilyui ore-placer gold-bearing province with a total area of 450 000 km2 in the basins of the Lena, Aldan, and Vilyui rivers. The authors estimate the metallogenic potential of the province at 5000 t of gold. In the near future, this province may become a new extensive resource base of gold and related elements for the Russian Federation.

The paper considers the issues of creating a 3D model of mountain terrain for geoinformation support of tourism in the Russian Federation on the example of the territory of the Republic of Ingushetia. The classification of types of tourism and objects of natural and cultural heritage in the Republic of Ingushetia is carried out. As a result of the analysis of tourist and administrative sites, as well as web-services of the republics of the Caucasus, a conclusion is made about their insufficient geoinformation support. The possibilities of using 3D models of mountain terrain on web maps for tourism purposes are presented. A digital model of the mountainous terrain of the Republic of Ingushetia with animation of the natural environment has been created. A 3D scene has been developed that conveys the main terrain shapes and the location of objects on the ground. The resulting model can be used to develop routes in different directions, to ensure both organized and independent tourism.

Abstract. The biogeochemistry of the river-sea interface was studied in the Kem' River (the largest river flowing to the White Sea from Karelian coast) estuary and adjacent area of the White Sea onboard the RV "Ekolog" in summer 2001, 2002 and 2003. The study area can be divided into 3 zones: I - the estuary itself, with water depth from 1 to 5m and low salinity in the surface layer (salinity is lower than 0.2psu in the Kem' River and varies from 15 to 20psu in outer part of this zone); II - the intermediate zone with depths from 5 to 10m and salinity at the surface from 16 to 22psu; III - the marine zone with depths from 10 to 29 m and salinity 21-24.5psu. Highest concentrations of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) were registered in the Kem' mouth (5-7mg/l). They sharply decreased to values <1mg/l towards the sea. At beginning of July 2001, particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration in the river mouth was 404µg/l and POC content in total SPM was 5.64%. In the marine part of the studied area the POC concentration varied from 132 to 274µg/l and the POC contents in suspended matter increased to 19-52.6%. These studies show, that the majority of riverborne suspended matter in the Kem' estuary deposits near the river mouth within the 20psu isohaline, where sedimentation of the suspended matter takes place. The role of fresh-water phytoplankton species decreases and the role of marine species increases from the river to sea and the percentage of green algae decreases and the role of diatoms increases. The organic carbon (Corg) to nitrogen (N) ratio (Corg/N) in both suspended matter and bottom sediments decreases from the river to the marine part of the mixing zone (from 8.5 to 6.1 in the suspended matter and from 14.6 to 7.5 in the bottom sediments), demonstrating that content of terrestrial-derived organic matter decreases and content of marine organic matter increases from the river mouth to the sea. The Kem' estuary exhibits a similar character of biogeochemial processes as in the large Arctic estuaries, but the scale of these processes (amount of river input of SPM, POC, area of estuaries) is different.
