General Information about Kola Science Centre.
        Kola Science Center was founded in 1930 by Academician  A.E. Fersman
as a Khibiny Alpine Station of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Now  KSC is the
largest  research complex located  over  the  Polar Circle. The KSC includes
10 nstitutes ( Geological, Mining, Chemistry and Technology of Rare Elements
and Mineral Raw Materials, Industrial Ecology of the North, Polar  Geophysi-
cal,  Polar  Alpine  Botanical Garden - Institute, Economy, Informatics  and
Mathematical  Modelling of Technological Processes, Physical  and  Technical
Problems  of the Northern Energetics,  Murmansk  Marine  Biological) ,  Kola
Regional Seismological Centre, 3 pilot plants, Publishing House,  Scientific
Library, network   of  observatories   and   monitoring stations, 2 research
vessels,  Designer' office and workshops  for  new  technological  equipment,
Computer Centre. At KSC there are  the  Scientific  Councils  for Defence of
Doctor's Theses in Mining Technology and Economy,  the Council  for Problems
of North  Natural  Resources Rational  Utilization, the  Information  Agency
"Perspectiva", the Centre of Ecological  Information "Econord", the  Ecologi-
cal  Education  Public  School, the  Consulting Social-Economics Centres  at
Murmansk,  Vologda,  Arkhangelsk,  the Geological  Museum,  the  Exploration
and  Development  of  the  North  Museum, the  Exhibition  of  advanced  non-
wasteless  technology  for   mineral  resources  utilization,  the Arboretum
and  Conservatory  with  collection  of  local  flora  and  introduced  rare
plants.
        Research activities: Geological, geochemical and geophysical studies
of the Baltic Shield and  Barents  sea  shelf; investigation  on  the  Polar
marine  and  terrestrial  ecosystems;  elaboration  of  methods  for  nature
protection   and  genetic  fund  reservation ;  creation of wasteless techno-
logy   for  utilization  of  mineral  raw  materials;  polar agriculture and
mariculture; research for physical processes in Polar atmosphere, ionosphere
and magnetosphere, estimation of key impact of northern environment on human
health; analysis relationship of technoosphere  and  biosphere in  urbanized
cold  climate  areas, searching a way  for sustainable development of Arctic
region; designing a harmless  technology  for underground  construction  for
nuclear  power station and waste  disposal; elaboration  of optimal strategy
for  energy  supply  and for effective management  of  social  and  economic
development of the European North.
