Marine ecologist · Black Sea researcher · Odesa, Ukraine
I study how the sea changes, using field observations and long-term records to understand pollution, ecosystem responses and recovery.
I have worked at the Ukrainian Scientific Centre of Ecology of the Sea (UkrSCES) since 1992. My work brings together marine observations, pollution assessment and international cooperation. I have taken part in 25 research expeditions.

Horizon EuropeThe Black Sea has been part of my life since childhood in Odesa. Decades of fieldwork have taught me to look beyond a single sample or season. Understanding change takes continuity. That is why preserving observations, and the people who make them, matters so much to me.
I trained as an oceanologist at the Odesa Hydrometeorological Institute, graduating in 1994. In 1999, I received the Candidate of Geographical Sciences degree in Oceanology (PhD equivalent) at the Marine Hydrophysical Institute, NAS of Ukraine. I hold the academic title of Senior Researcher.
I taught at Odesa State Ecological University from 2005 to 2017. My publications include more than 60 papers, two books and three book chapters.
