On March 24 – 25, 2016, the VIII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS AND STUDENTS “MODERN EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGIES IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH” took place on the basis of Research Station RAS (RS RAS).

March 24 – 25, 2016, Research Station RAS, Bishkek city

The main directions of the Conference activity:

Section 1. "Geophysical monitoring and geo information systems" included the reports on methods and new software systems used for monitoring of geological environment and ionosphere as well as the results of their application.

Section 2. "Natural and technological environmental impact" included the reports on abundance and features of seismotectonic processes manifestations, landslides, mudflow and flood phenomena in the territory of Central Asia. Here were the reports on technogenic hazards connected with operation of water storage reservoirs and mining facilities within the seismic territories.

Section 3. "Interdisciplinary reports" included the reports on mechanics and dynamics of various phenomena and processes, as well as reports on the modern mathematical and technological methods applied in various research areas.

For all guests and conference participants there was organized the scientific and get-acquainted tour within the territory of Proving Ground of the Research Station RAS.

All participants who presented their reports orally were awarded by certificates and disks with the electronic version of the Materials of VIII International Conference for Young Scientists and Students "Modern Equipment and Technologies in Scientific Researches".

Students, graduate students and young scientists - participants of the conference represented 15 institutions from Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Dagestan.

Orginising Committee thanks all participants and looking forward to see you on the next year Conference.

Scientific workshop

On February 29, 2016, in the conference hall of Research Station the Scientific Workshop was held. Aleksey A. Malovichko, Dr. of technical sciences, Corresponding Member of RAS (Department of Earth’s Sciences (Geophysics)), Director of Geophysical Service of RAS was the honorary guest of the event. During the workshop the Heads of RS RAS research laboratories briefly presented the most important results of research undergone. Dr. Aleksey Malovichko, in his turn, noted that the further scientific and research collaboration between Geophysical Service of RAS and Research Station RAS is very prospective and is of great interest for both sides.

Memorandum of Understanding

On February 2, 2016, the Memorandum of Understanding was executed among the Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration; the Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Bishkek (RS RAS) and the International Research Center – Geodynamic Proving Ground (IRC – GPG) as a result of working visit of the RS RAS Director Anatoly Rybin to Beijing, China.

This MoU assumes that above mentioned organizations will maintain continuous and collaborative contact with each other, exchange research staffs from the other organization for promoting joint research, educational and other related activities; promotion joint research projects in earthquakes forecast and risk mitigation field, such as seismology, geomagnetism and other geophysical field; exchange of seismological data and so on.

Research Station of RAS Main Results of 2015

In course of the regular meeting of Academic council of Research Station RAS in Bishkek, which took place on December 17, 2015, the main results of research executed on 4 subjects were discussed:

Subject 70.1 - "Study of deep structure of Tien Shan and surrounding territories using a complex of geophysical methods to find out the interrelation of mass-energy transfer in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle with spatio-temporal distribution of seismicity” was presented by Bataleva E.A. (Research Supervisor – Dr. Rybin A.K)

Subject 70.2 - "Study of distribution of velocities of the Earth’s crust modern movements on the basis of measurements of a GPS network of Central Asia by means of space geodesy" was presented to Kuzikovy S. I.

Subject 78.1 - "Study of geodynamic, seismic and geophysical processes as a base of earthquake forecast (including modeling of nonelastic processes in seismo generating zones)" it was presented by Bragin V.D. and Sychev V. N. 

Subject 80.1 - "Development of hardware and software tools and basics of technology for electromagnetic monitoring of geodynamic processes in seismoactive zones and risk assessment" was presented by Ilichov P. V.

During the discussion followed there was offered to present to Department of Earth’s Sciences of RAS 3 most important research results obtained in 2015 while execution of main directions of fundamental research. First result was voted as a best one.

The small-size, thermostable induction sensor intended for measurement of magnetic induction, high sensitive in the range of frequencies from 0,1 Hz to 80 kHz (figure 1), was developed. The technical result of development is confined in substantial increase of integration constant at preservation of high temperature stability of sensor transformation ratio. The model sample of sensor was designed. The developed sensor can be used in any geoelectrical exploration equipment based on measurement of artificial and natural electromagnetic fields.

By means of correlation analysis of time-and-frequency ranks of electromagnetic parameters there were revealed that the indicative strain-sensitive elements of geo-environment which corresponds to zones with dynamic influence of the Northern Tien Shan active faults. The strain-sensitivity of rocks massifs is estimated by correlation level between gravitational tidal impacts and electromagnetic parameters variations. Orientation of steady correlation clusters on correlation polar plots corresponds to fault strikes (figure 2) what testifies to the strain-sensitive nature of zones of the Northern Tien Shan active faults dynamic influence.

At common conformity in distribution of total horizontal deformation rates on GPS and KNET seismological data in the territory of the Central Tien Shan, the block of Earth’s crust with raised and potentially dangerous gradients of deformation rate was pointed out. For considerable part of the territory studied the high degree of positive correlation of total horizontal deformation rates distribution for near-surface part of Earth’s crust (depth to 5 km, space geological data) and a seismic active layer of the Earth’s crust (depth of 5-20 km, seismological data) for the period of 1998-2014 was revealed. The central region of the studied territory is an exception (the Dzhumgal-Too) where the decreased values of rate of a near-surface dilatancy and increased deformation rates in seismoactive layer of crust are fixed. The revealed discordance in distribution of near-surface and deep deformation indicates the energy-saturated and potentially dangerous volume of crust, from the point of view of seismic events manifestation and activity of explosive violations.
