Foraminifers in bottom sediments of the Western Arctic Seas / I.A. Pogodina; [responsible ed. G.A. Tarasov]; MMBI KSC RAS. - Apatity: Publ. KSC RAS, 2014. - 192 p. ISBN 978-5-91 137-257-6
Results of a micro-palaeontological study of the Western Arctic Seas bottom sediments, performed with the help of foraminifer’s analysis, are presented. The species and quantitative distribution of modern benthic foraminifera have been studied, some taxa used for paleontological reconstructions have been refined. Taxa morphology, which has the most important stratigraphic significance, are described. Communities of benthic foraminifera in sediments of individual stages of late Quaternary time - the last interglacial period, glaciation and transitional conditions from glaciation to Holocene - are identified. The stratigraphic dismemberment of bottom sediments columns and cores drilling by foraminifera was performed. The microfauna substantiation of stratigraphic dismemberment, correlation of the Upper Quaternary sediments of the Barents Sea and paleoecological conditions reconstructed on the basis of obtained data are presented for the late Quaternary period.
Murmansk coast (geological-geomorphological and climatic features, modern geological processes) / M.V. Mityaev; [Edited by L.G. Pavlov]; Murmansk Marine Biological Institute KSC RAS.- Apatity: Publ. KSC RAS, 2014. - 226 p.
ISBN 978-5-91137-269-9
The book characterizes climate, geological and geomorphological structure, landscapes of the Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea. Data on watercourses and lakes located on the coast are given. The destruction rate of coarse bedrock in the littoral zone of the sea clastic material and sedimentation rate in lakes and bays are estimated. Seismicity of the territory and modern rates of territory elevation are described. Data on bays lithodynamics, material and physicomechanical composition of sedimentary material participating in the vertical flow of matter in the coastal zone are given.

The collection presents materials of the 12th international conference "Integrated studies of Spitsbergen nature and offshore" organized by Murmansk Marine Biological Institute KSC RAS in November 2014. The collection is of interest to a wide range of specialists: oceanologists, hydrometeorologists, hydrobiologists, botanists, geologists, geophysicists, archeologists, glaciologists, as well as students and teachers of higher education.
Symbiots of crabs’ commercial species in the Okhotsk and Barents seas. G.G. Matishov, I.V. Karmanova, A.G. Dvoretsky, S.Y. Utevsky; [responsible ed. D.G. Ishkulov]; MMBI KSC RAS. - Rostov-on-Don: Publ. SSC RAS, 2014. - 276 p. ISBN 978-5-4358-0097-5
Data on pathogenic parasites species and other organisms encountered in commercial species of crabs of the Okhotsk and Barents Seas are presented. Data on biology, distribution, and abundance of crabs in the seas, systematics, and description of crab symbiotes, indices of parasite infestation and symbiont populations are presented. Ecology of symbionts is described and reasons for the decrease in the number of crabs in natural populations are analyzed.
Comprehensive Arctic research on the Northern Sea Route on nuclear icebreakers (20 years of MMBI experience) / G.G. Matishov, Y.A. Badanin, A.A. Deryabin et al. – Rostov-on-Don: Publ. SSC RAS, 2014. - 96 p. ISBN 978-5-4358-0095-1
The preprint was prepared based on results of integral ecosystem research conducted by MMBI on the Northern Sea Route, which has been done since 1996 to the present.
