On July 6, 2022, staff of RS RAS in Bishkek city conducted a comprehensive scientific and technical tour for students of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU, https://krsu.edu.kg/) and the American University of Central Asia (AUCA, https://auca.kg/) sent to RS RAS for educational and field practices.

  The tour began with an introductory mini-lecture by Leonid Losikhin, engineer of the Laboratory of Deep Magnetotelluric Studies (LDMS). Students had an excellent opportunity to learn more about the main activities of the laboratory - physical and geological basics of methods of magnetotelluric sounding and electrotomography, as well as the equipment used in the RS RAS for geophysical research using above-mentioned methods.

  A short excursus to the Research Station’s history of the was presented by Vladimir Bobrovsky, Head of the Laboratory of Advanced Hardware Development (LAHD), who told the students about the magnetohydrodynamic unit that operated at RS RAS in the 70-80s of past century, as well as about the laboratory's own modern hardware developments.

  The Head of the Laboratory of Integrated Studies of Dynamic Precesses in Geophysical Fields (LIS) Dr. Sanzhar Imashev told about the main directions of scientific research carried out by laboratory staff.

  Vinera Mukhamadeeva, the researcher of Laboratory of Integrated Studies of Dynamic Processes in Geophysical Fields (LIS), conducted a geological excursion and told about the geological features of the surrounding of RS RAS polygon, as well as about the endogenous and exogenous processes that occur there.

  The field geodetic excursion was led by the Head of the Laboratory of Studying Modern Movements of the Earth’s Crust by Space Geodesy (LGPS) Dr. Sergei Kuzikov.

  Earlier, on March 11, 2022, an agreement was signed (prolonged) between RS RAS and KRSU on practical training of students studying in the specialty 20.03.02 (RF), 760100 (KR), "Nature Management and Water Management", profile of training was "Integrated Water Resources Use and Protection".

  Educational and work practices of AUCA students studying in 510200 "Applied Mathematics and Computer Science", profile "Mathematical Modeling in Natural and Social Sciences", have been carried out since 2017 (Memorandum on scientific and technical cooperation between AUCA and RS RAS from June 1, 2017).

  Students are interning under the guidance of leading specialists of the Research Station and have the opportunity not only to consolidate the knowledge gained during the educational process at the University, but also, by performing individual assignments, to learn the main features of research activities in the field of Earth sciences at RS RAS.

  We wish the students have a fruitful internship and success in the coming academic year!
