The main stages in the development of the scientific research at the Pacific Geographical Institute, FEB RAS. P.Ya. BAKLANOV, V.V. ERMOSHIN, K.S. GANZEI (Pacific Geographical Institute, FEB RAS, Vladivostok).
The Pacific Geographical Institute (PGI) was established as a unit of the Far Eastern Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences in October 1971. In October 2021, the Institute celebrates the 50th anniversary. A.P. Kapitsa – a prominent scientist, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, was its first director. The article describes the five 10-year stages of the Institute’s development. During this time, the PGI carried out a variety of geographical studies, from the problems of regional geographical forecast to the study of the structure and dynamics of geosystems of various ranks, taking into account natural and anthropogenic factors, territorial structures of the economy and population settlement. The methods of stationary research, geoinformation applications, modeling of geosystems and their components were developing. The study of regional natural resources management, including transboundary and coastal-marine ones, has become a pivotal direction of the complex geographical research. The article characterizes the stages in the PGI’s development, as well as its main fundamental and applied areas of research, research results, and publications.
