About the event:

On April 9, 2025, the scientific center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes» of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar «C stocks and fluxes in urban soils across European Russia». The event will be held in a mixed format on the Yandex Telemost platform. The working language is Russian.

The processes associated with carbon flows in soils are an important variable in the global carbon balance. As a result, they make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of the biosphere. The study of these processes is equally complex and important, so special attention is paid to studies of carbon dioxide emissions by soils. 

The seminar will consider studies devoted to carbon dioxide emissions by soils in different regions of Russia.

Event program:

17.30 – 17.50

«CO2 emission from urban soils in the Far North» 

Maria Korneykova, PhD, Senior Researcher, Scientific Center “Smart Technologies for Sustainable Development of Urban Infrastructure in the Context of Global Changes”

About the event:

On March 19, 2025, the scientific center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes» of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar «Climate modeling in urban green infrastructure planning». The event will be held in a mixed format on the Yandex Telemost platform. The working language is Russian.

In the context of the rapid supervision of cities, the issues of development planning and the creation of urban development projects require the use of modern technologies that prefer to choose optimal solutions for different consequences. Current climate modeling may provide an important basis for solving similar problems.

During the seminar, the experience of microclimatic modeling of the urban environment and the prospects for its application in various aspects will be reviewed.

Event program:

17.30 – 18.00

«Computational technologies for microclimatic modeling of urban environment» 

Evgeniy Mortikov, Head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Modeling of Geophysical Boundary Layers, Research Computing Center of Moscow State University
