GENERAL INFORMATION
The main directions of the conference:
1. Actual problems of paleogeography: Multi-scale changes in Earths landscapes and climate in the Quaternary.
2. Paleogeographic basis of modern landscapes: Assessment of current and future changes in the natural environment based on retrospective analysis.
3. Questions of geoarcheology: The natural factor in the development of human society in Pleistocene and Holocene.
4. Geochronology of the Quaternary: Application of different dating methods in paleogeographic reconstruction.
Organization of the conference
The conference sessions will be held in Moscow on the basis of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Staromonetny per., 29) and the Geological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Pyzhevsky per., 7, p. 1) in

VELICHKO AWARD,
established by the Academic Council of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences
In order to encourage fundamental research in the field of studying the history of the natural environment, reconstructing the dynamics of landscapes and the climate of the Quaternary period, the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IG RAS) established the award named after the outstanding scientist geographer Professor Andrei Alekseevich Velichko (hereinafter referred to as the Award). The Award is prized by the Academic Council of the IG RAS once every five years. The Award has two nominations – for major achievements in the study of the Quaternary period of Northern Eurasia and for the outstanding work of a young researcher in the study of the Quaternary period of Northern Eurasia. The announcement of the Award for each nomination and the date of presentation will be published on the official website of the IG RAS. The Award consists of a cash prize, a diploma and a commemorative medal.
The nomination for major achievements in the study of the Quaternary period of Northern Eurasia is awarded to an accomplished researcher, whose work has made a significant contribution to the scientific picture of the world in the field of paleogeography, evolutionary geography, paleoclimatology, paleohydrology, paleoglaciology, paleosoil science, paleogeomorphology, paleobiological period geography. Works must be published in Russian and / or English.
The nomination for outstanding work of a young researcher in the study of the Quaternary period of Northern Eurasia is awarded to a researcher under the age of 39 (at the time of publication of the study) for a scientific publication (article, a series of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals indexed in the WoS, SCOPUS citation systems, monograph, dissertation research), published in the 5-year period preceding the award of the Award, and making a significant contribution to the development of scientific knowledge, distinguished by originality and novelty in the formulation and solution of scientific problems. The nominee must be the first or only author of at least one of the submitted publications. The publication date is considered the release of the electronic version of the article on the journal’s website, the paper version of the monograph, the official award of a scientific degree based on the results of the dissertation defense. The work must be written in Russian or English.
For the competition for the Award, work is nominated by research workers, teachers, graduate students and doctoral students of research organizations and universities, without restrictions on age and citizenship. The right to nominate papers for the Award belongs to Academic Councils of research organizations and universities (including individual faculties), divisions of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Nomination occurs by sending a letter of recommendation on the letterhead of the organization, an extract from the meeting of the IG RAS department, with a short justification to the Commission at the email address of the conference dedicated to the 90th anniversary of A.A. Velichko: evolgeogr21@mail.ru. The proposed scientific work in electronic format is attached to the letter of recommendation.
