The international school was organized by the Laboratory of Ecosystem Geoinformatics and the Higher Ecological School of YuSU. It will become part of the International Environmental Action "Save and Preserve". Scientists from Belarus, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tyumen, and Yugra will share knowledge during the event. Special attention will be paid to the work of young researchers, whose participation is an important stage in involving talented young people in research activities. The participants of the International School were greeted by the rector of YuSU Roman Kuchin. Roman Viktorovich emphasized that the university occupies a prominent place on the international agenda in the field of ecology and climate.
"This International School is important to us. Ecology is currently one of our leading fields, where we have attracted the best researchers, scientists, and teachers. This area has the best relationships with our external partners. Regarding UAVs and systems, this is our new focus area, which began four years ago. Danil Ilyasov is the founder of this area at YuSU. The youth UAV lab has demonstrated effective results. We are currently implementing a flagship project on environmental monitoring in Khanty-Mansiysk using unmanned aerial vehicles. This concentration of scientific activities brought together interested young researchers from many regions of our country and the Republic of Belarus. It's symbolic that the day before, we signed a memorandum with the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences. This is a significant event, preceded by two years of work. Tomorrow, you will go to the Mukhrino international field station, which pioneered international-level environmental research. Elena Lapshina initiated this project. Today, the station is renowned far beyond our country's borders. The global scientific community values Mukhrino and the unique research conducted there. I wish the participants of this international school fruitful, collaborative, and well-coordinated work. Together, we are making our future better," noted Roman Kuchin.
Participants of the international school will exchange knowledge on the use of UAVs in environmental research, dedicated to assessing the properties of wetland and forest ecosystems, integrated environmental monitoring of wetland ecosystems, the role of wetlands in the global carbon cycle, and assessing the anthropogenic impact on the functioning of wetlands in the context of climate change.
Today, scientists are presenting their findings. Specifically, Alexander Olchev, a leading researcher at the Carbon Data Center and a professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University, will report on methodological approaches and key trends in assessing CO₂ and CH₄ emissions and absorption by land and ocean surfaces in the 21st century. Mikhail Glagolev, a senior researcher at the YuSU Ecosystem Geoinformatics Laboratory and a senior researcher at Lomonosov Moscow State University, will discuss a gradient method for measuring methane flux using an unmanned aerial vehicle: testing and ground-based verification. Danil Ilyasov, head of the YuSU Ecosystem Geoinformatics Laboratory, will present an overview lecture on unmanned aerial vehicles in environmental research.
The practical part of the international school—completing individual flight missions—will take place at the Mukhrino International Field Station. Scientists will conduct office data processing in YuSU laboratories. Following the school's completion, participants will present projects based on their work using UAVs.
