Hybrid adaptation scientific investigations and mentoring system in geopolygons conditions

In this work, I present the geopolygons - test sites, under the historical view of a series of practical research-and-educational activities. In this sense, STEM learning on-site, specifically related to the Earth sciences, is important.

The Research Station RAS in Bishkek is a part of Bishkek Geodynamic Proving Ground of the International Research Center (IRC BGPG) with the Multiple-Access Geosciences System (MAGS) (http://ckp-rf.ru/ckp/500801/) is studying geodynamics, stressed and deformed state and deep structure of Tien Shan, seismotectonic, geoenvironmental and engineering-geological aspects. At the Research Station RAS in Bishkek we lead a mentorship program within the organization for mentees. However, COVID-19 quarantine forced us to make mostly online seminars for organization staff and provide online educational training for the students of American University of Central Asia (AUCA) and Kyrgyz Russian Slavic University (KRSU). Under the support of the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation (Rossotrudnichestvo) the agreement on scientific and technical cooperation between the Kyrgyz National University named after Jusup Balasagyn (KNU) and the Research Station RAS in Bishkek was signed on September 30th, 2020.

All data storage from on-site stationary monitoring points of BGPG has been still offline. All field activities have been continued and have been made by special groups of maximum 3 persons. I admit that the new remote technologies should be included in future development because the accessible geophysical equipment degrades rather quickly and especially because of daily use and temperature changes.
