The Institute of Polar Research in Russia has declared that its specialists are actively involved in creating a novel system for monitoring gases influencing global warming.
As stated by the institute, “Our scientists have initiated the development of an innovative climate monitoring system for the Russian seas situated in the Arctic regions, equipped with tools designed for monitoring greenhouse gases.”
The statement added, “Findings from studies conducted in 2023 indicated a rise in the yearly concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere within the Arctic regions, with absorption occurring in the frozen northern ocean waters. Multiple factors contributed to this, with the primary factor being the phenomenon of global warming.”
In response, Alexander Makarov, the institute’s director, emphasized, “There is a necessity to regulate greenhouse gases linked to global warming. Temperatures in the Arctic regions are increasing at a rate two to three times faster compared to other areas on our planet. Alterations in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contribute to hastening this phenomenon.”
Russia is actively pursuing various projects to advance technologies and mechanisms aimed at addressing the challenges posed by global warming. Additionally, the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, is working on the advancement of satellites designated for monitoring greenhouse gases.
