Overview
Students participate in expeditions to Polar Regions in course of their field practice. For example, in the previous years, student research practice was held on the base of Lammi Biological Station of Helsinki University in winter and international field stations such as the Russian scientific centre on Svalbard archipelago (part of the Arctic and Antarctic research institute), Lena River delta, Yamal and Kola peninsulas in summer.
After completing this Cold Region Environment Landscapes Integrated Science (CORELIS) programme at Saint-Petersburg State University, the students:
- understand species evolution, patterns of biodiversity, pedology
- independently carry out: measurements, analysis, interpretation and data processing
- understand the role of a changing climate within biogeochemical cycles of environment processes
- have gained advanced knowledge of structure, functioning and vulnerability of polar and upland ecosystems
- are knowledgeable of modern methods of ecological research, regulation, risk assessment and constructing mathematical models of the ecosystem
- have gained knowledge about interaction of the atmosphere and hydrosphere, prospective areas for development
- have knowledge and skills in field sampling strategy, working with special scientific equipment for analytical procedures in biology and geoecology
- are able to understand and review international regulations on Polar study
- have gained advanced knowledge of the structure of environmental systems and effects of basic cryogenic processes, types and dynamics of ground ices, glaciers and water bodies
- can evaluate anthropogenic impacts on polar, upland, and periglacial ecosystems
- are able to evaluate the impact of global climate change on Polar environment
