Consultanting on environmental and climate issues within the project “Historically contaminated sites in the Port of Liepaja, Karosta channel remediation works”

Research interests: functioning of aquatic ecosystems, aquatic habitat restoration, biodiversity, microscopic crustaceans, palaeolimnology, anthropogenic pollution including microplastics in aquatic habitats, citizen science involvement in research.

Current research areas include zooplankton (Cladocera, Copepoda) analysis, detection of littoral microscopic crustaceans, detection of Cladocera fossil remains in sediments, collection, preparation and analysis of microplastic samples from different environmental matrices, development of monitoring methodology for assessment of microplastic contamination in the environment.
