Previous Employment

INSTITUTE OF LIMNOLOGY (IL), RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, St.Petersburg, Russia
Senior research scientist (1990-1999)
Research scientist (1984-1990)
Research associate (1974-1984)
1978-1991: Served as Deputy Director of Lake Ladoga Expedition, responsible for overseeing scientific research and financial management.

Also conducted variety of other field investigations, including expeditions to Lake Onega, lakes Kubenskoe, Beloe, Il'men, and others. Conducted long-term study of Lake Ladoga hydrodynamics, including hydrodynamics of coastal areas, that resulted in Ph.D. thesis "Formation of Hydrophysical Fields in Lake Ladoga". Participated in the long-term study of euthrophication in the great lakes of Russia that resulted in several collective monographs issued by the research team (see List of Publications).

Developed a simple statistical method to categorize objects and phenomena by their nature. Successfully applied the model to Lake Ladoga (to identify zones of potentially high biological activity) and to the Norwegian Sea (to study water masses). This model has since been applied in other disciplines, for example to characterise variability of phosphorus in runoff across European Russia (Kuznetsov and Razumikhina, 1987). Developed a simple numerical metod for modeling weather conditions over lakes to forecasting the hydrodynamic and ecological events.

Western Department For Fishery Research (Zaprybpromrazvedka), USSR Ministry of Fisheries, Kaliningrad, USSR
Research Associate (1972-1973)
Conducted field investigations, amongst them expeditions to North-Western Atlantic (short-term fishery forecasting).
