local scientists

Attention around Perm Krai this week spans several local stories. Meteorologists forecast a gradual, not sharp, warming across the region. In Solikamsk, a fire broke out at a local timber plant, while part of a highway in one district was closed over the threat of enemy drones. The Kungur Ice Cave's stalagmites are under scrutiny after a change of operator, and a scientist explained the unusually early leaf fall on the region's trees.
