Update of age data of the palvesk formation ("green wall") of Sambian peninsula (the Kaliningrad region)
The article describes the history of the study and the composition of the palvesk formation established in the deposits of the Paleogene of the Sambian Peninsula in the Kaliningrad Region. The authors give the most complete micro- and macro-faunistic characteristics, as well as the palynological complex according to previous studies. According to the results of absolute dating of glauconite isolated from the siltstones ...
Comparative analysis of the groups of microorganisms in natural and anthropo-genically altered brown forest soils of the Kaliningrad Peninsula
This article focuses on the numerical concentration of certain groups of microorganisms in the brown forest soils of natural and urbanised ecosystems of the Kaliningrad Peninsula. An analysis of the microflora was performed in spring, summer, and autumn 2012. This paper presents the average annual data for each key area. It is shown that human-altered ecosystems are characterized by a higher than natural concentration ...
The morphological structure of the soils of the Kaliningrad peninsula natural ecosystems
This article describes the soil mantle of the natural ecosystems of the Kaliningrad peninsula. The authors offer experimental data on the morphology structure and pH of the soils.

Suspended Particulate Matter Distribution Along the Northern Coast of the Kaliningrad Peninsula
... is human-occupied, which contributes to the significance of the findings for sustainable nature, and coastal zone, management. The main aim of this research is to study the spatial distribution variability of suspended particulate matter north of the Kaliningrad Peninsula — in the southeastern Baltic Sea — to gain a better understanding of sedimentation conditions in a semi-enclosed stratified water basin. The data on suspended particulate matter concentration were obtained by filtering seawater through nuclear ...
The characteristic of the vegetative land cover of the Kaliningrad peninsula ecosystems
This article offers an ecological analysis of natural ecosystems used in the monitoring of the microflora of soil lands. The authors characterize the soilvegetation cover of the ecosystems of the Kaliningrad Peninsula. The difference in the species composition of phytocenoses and their environmental conditions is identified.

Urban Planning Development and Seismic Safety Provision in the Kaliningrad region
In this study, we analyse today’s urban development trends in the context of densely populated territories located in moderate seismic regions. We perform a brief engineering analysis of the consequences of the Kaliningrad earthquake of September 21, 2004. The earthquake was felt across the Sambia Peninsula, in the Baltics, Finland, some parts of Poland and Belarus, and even in Saint Petersburg. Earthquakes occurred on the territory of today’s Kaliningrad — in the city of Konigsberg — in 1803 and 1904. For many years, the Kaliningrad region’s ...
Attractiveness of landscapes as a factor in the development of recreational nature management of the Sambia Peninsula seashore
... Russia requires the more active integration of recreationally significant territories into this sector. This fully applies to the Kaliningrad coast of the Baltic Sea, as evidenced by the increased volume of tourist flows in recent years. A comprehensive approach ... ... coastal landscapes and the degree of their anthropogenic transformation. The methodology was tested on 31 sections of the Sambia Peninsula’s coastline. The analysis of their attractiveness revealed a predominance of areas with a high level of appeal (56....
Suspended particulate matter within the Kaliningrad coastal zone: distribution, transport, composition
... from the main source area, which included both human-made and natural suspended matter inputs. Directions of particles transport for surface and bottom layer were discovered to be different. The transformation of the suspended matter transport from the Kaliningrad lagoon to the Curonean spit was studied with electron microscopy. The biogenic fraction dominates in the suspensions, including colonies of cyanobacteria, diatoms and dinoflagellates. The suspended matter composition changes from the Sambia Peninsula toward to the Curonian Spit: iron content rises along with a decrease in total number of mineral particles.

Glaciodislocations in the quaternary deposits of the Kaliningrad region

Known for a century and a half and characterized by a variety of forms, they have not yet been practically ... ... systematize the unique glaciotectonic formations observed in the surface, mainly Quaternary, sediments of the Kaliningrad Peninsula. Based on the classification proposed by E. A. Levkov (1980), some glacio-dislocations have been systematized. Formations ...

Geological conditions for submarine groundwater discharge in the South-Eastern Baltic
... seismic activity, rock permeability, paleo-incisions, pockmarks) made it possible to identify areas of the bottom that are promising for further research. In the coastal zone, this is an area of bedrock outcrops on the northern underwater slope of the Kaliningrad Peninsula, forming a Paleocene-Eocene aquifer. On the rest of the bottom area of the Southeast Baltic, aquifers are overlain by a thick layer of Quaternary formations. Only a combination of these factors makes possible the submarine discharge of groundwater ...
The accumulation of heavy metals by wild mushrooms in the Kaliningrad region
... a high selective capacity for cadmium (B. edulis) and zinc accumulation (R. decolorans) independent of the concentration of these elements in the substrate. A higher concentration of heavy metals was detected in the Russulaceae picked on the Sambia peninsula in comparison to similar species of the Polessk forest.

The status of geomorphologic knowledge of the territory of the Kaliningrad region
This article examines the genesis of disputed geomorphologic zones. The authors propose identifying the Sambian end moraine site on the Sambian peninsula. It has been established that the right bank of the River Instruch is not an end moraine ridge, whereas the Neman – Sesupe interfluve is a relict alluvian plain. The genesis of the Polessk lowland and a number of geomorphological borders require ...
