of Energy and the Institute of
Ecoinformatics of the
Russian Academy of Natural
Sciences

pollution level of the Arctic
Basin with radionuclides,
heavy metals and oil
hydrocarbons

1998a), Krapivin and
Phillips (2001a), Phillips
et al. (1997)

Synthesized RIMS-ACS in
the framework of scienti c
collaboration between the
Georgetown University
(Washington, USA) and
Institute of Ecoinformatics of
Russian Academy of Natural
Sciences

Assessment of the
characteristics of the
hydrological regime of the
Aral-Caspian system (ACS)
and accomplishment of the
forecast of these characteristics
in the framework of climate
change scenarios and
anthropogenic intervention to
the functioning of this system

Synthesized RIMS-GCC in
the frame of the collaboration
between the Institute of
Physics of Vietnamese
Academy of Sciences and
Technologies (Hochiminh
City) and the Kotelnikov
Institute of Radioengineering
and Electronics of the Russian
Academy of Sciences

Evaluation of the sinks of
atmospheric carbon in
hydrosphere, on the land and
in geosphere taking into
consideration the spatial
distribution of the soil-plant
formations, the heterogeneity
of the World Ocean
ecosystem characteristics and
geospheric processes. These
data are used as input
information for global carbon
cycle (GCC) model
