Objective
The Project deals with investigations of the Pechora Sea. This region is an important natural object that will undergo significant technogenic changes due to exploitation of oil and gas fields in the shelf and coastal areas in the near future. Already existing conflicts between oil development and traditional economy (fish-breeding, reindeer-breeding) will inevitably intensify in the course of these changes.
The main goal of the Project is to is to define regional manifestation of the natural and anthropogenic factors of evolution of coastal and shelf areas of the Pechora Sea and, on this basis, to elaborate predictive scenarios of environmental evolution during the next century.
To achieve this goal following objectives have been set:
(i) to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental evolution of the Pechora Sea during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene on the basis of drill core evidence, seismic record, lithological and micropaleontological data in order to link the past and recent environmental changes with possible future development of the region;
(ii) to study the morphology and dynamics of the Pechora Sea coastal and shelf zones and to outline patterns and tendencies of their evolution under the expected climate warming and sea-level rise;
(iii) to analyse natural sedimentological processes in the shelf and coastal zones of the area and the anthropogenic impact upon the natural environment caused by the existing sources of pollution and those that will appear due to the development of the oil fields and its associated infrastructure;
(iiii) to forecast the possible evolution of the Pechora Sea shelf and coastal zones using different scenarios, e.g. (a) stable climate and sea-level conditions, and (b) climate warming and sea level rise during the next 100 years.
