Research institute in Russia

The Pacific Institute of Geography of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russian:Тихоокеанский институт географии Дальневосточного отделения Российской академии наук)(abbr. TIG FEB RAS) is a research institute part of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences founded in 1971. It is the leading scientific institution in the field of geography in the Russian Far East. It is located in Vladivostok.

History

The Pacific Institute of Geography was established on October 1, 1971 at the Far Eastern Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Andrey Kapitsa, a scientist, geographer, and corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences became the director of the institute. The main task of the new institute was to organize, conduct, and coordinate full-scale geographic studies of the Far East regions and natural geosystems in the continent-ocean transition zone.

In May 2002, the Kamchatka Institute of Ecology and Nature Management became part of the Pacific Institute of Geography, which later became the Kamchatka branch of the TIG FEB RAS.

In 2018, according to the results of the FANO assessment of the performance of scientific organizations, the institute was assigned category I in the profile "Knowledge generation".

In 2020, the institute established the scientific journal "Pacific Geography".
