Equipping the Research Institute of Earth Sciences with a laboratory for climate change studies and studying sedimentary cores

According to RCO News Agency, Referring to the public relations of the Geological and Mineral Exploration Organization of the country, Dr. Razie Lak, referring to the implementation of renovation and improvement projects in the Research Institute of Earth Sciences, stated: With the support of the Geological Organization and the Ministry of Peace, in less than five months, we will implement a wide package of construction plans, renovation and improvement of research services in our central building. The definition of these plans is done with the aim of increasing energy efficiency, improving research standards, improving accessibility and providing a suitable platform for research and development.

The head of the Research Institute of Earth Sciences considered the simultaneous implementation of this amount of construction and equipment projects to show the serious determination of the research institute in the direction of improving the general indicators and tasks set in the 7th development plan of the country and continued: This project was with the approach of increasing the efficiency of research infrastructures and reducing energy consumption. In this regard, the construction of a 45 kW solar power plant in line with the law of the 7th plan is one of the projects of this research institute.

Lek explained in this regard: the 45 kW solar power plant, in addition to providing the electricity required by the research institute, also transfers the excess energy produced to the national grid. This action is a practical step in line with the implementation of Article 46 of the Law of the Seventh Development Plan and reducing dependence on the national electricity grid.

He mentioned the specialized laboratory of geosciences as one of the other projects of this research institute and continued: The existing laboratory was previously used for experimental tectonics, now it has been developed and equipped for climate change studies and sedimentary cores. This laboratory upgrade significantly increases research capacity with laboratory research and development.
