Research interests

Quantitative assessment of the redistribution of sediment and sediment-associated pollutants transported along with them in small catchments and in small river basins of lowland and mountain areas, using traditional and modern methods and techniques. Investigation of the intensity of exogenous processes in the mountains; using the bomb-derived and Chernobyl-derived cesium-137 for evaluation of sedimentation rates in the different sediment sinks for the different time windows; assessment of the contribution of various sediment sources to the river suspended sediment; the study of the formation and geomorphological consequences of flash floods in the mountains; assessment of global erosion.

Work area

European territory of Russia, including the Caucasus
