Abstract

The article is dedicated to the anniversary of Igor Alekseevich Melnikov, chief researcher at the Institute of Oceanology, Doctor of Biological Sciences. Out of 50 years of work at the Institute of IO RAS, four decades of his scientific activity are devoted to research in the Arctic and Antarctic. Starting from the International Polar Year in 2007 to the present, I.A. Melnikov conducts bipolar monitoring of marine water-ice ecosystems that are affected by climate change. His scientific views were widely reflected in both the specialized and periodicals, as well as in radio and television appearances. I.A. Melnikov was awarded the title “Honorable Polar Explorer”, awarded the Order of the “Trudovogo Krasnogo Znameny”, and for scientific research using scuba gear under the ice of the Arctic and Antarctic, he was awarded the UNESCO International Grand Prix.
