The immensity of the problems  confronting us, coupled with the limited financial resources  available, urgently demand the selection of priority areas of  research, with a global combination of scientific effort. \u003cbr\u003e  The new geopolitical situation has uncovered Russia's and the former  Soviet Union's scientific potential. This has given rise to wider  opportunities for involvement in work on international projects and  programmes, many of which are discussed in the present volume. The  book addresses specifically priority fields of science in which joint,  multidisciplinary research should be developed, encompassing rational  use of natural resources and regional sustainable development, as well  as the monitoring of the biosphere's ecosystem state and the risks of  natural and anthropogenic hazards, and the creation of new materials  and technologies. The list of priorities includes Siberia's economic,  social and humanitarian problems, as well as the development of  information systems for the rapid exchange of scientific data. There  is a recognised need for the involvement of young scientists in  partnership laboratories, in a probationary capacity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401040747\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0165-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343462985868,"sku":"9789401040747","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401040747.jpg?v=1776434441","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401040747","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
