Education

In 1989, he graduated from the Physics Department of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

In 1992, he completed Postgraduate Studies at the Zubov State Oceanographic Institute.

After graduation he defended a thesis for PhD of physico-mathematical Sciences on "the Daily cycle of thermal and mechanical interaction of ocean and atmosphere".

In 2000, he defended his DSc dissertation on "a Wide shelf under the influence of intense continental runoff".

Scientific career

Since 1992, he worked at the Zubov State Oceanographic Institute.

1993 – 1994 – University of Oregon, USA.

1994 – 1998 – University of Rio Grande, Brazil.

Since 1998, he has been working at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Sciences, where he successively held the positions of Senior Researcher, Leading Researcher, Head of the laboratory

Since 2006 – Deputy Director of Physics Department  Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Sciences.

His Research interests are related to the physics of ocean interaction with freshwater continental runoff, as well as various forms of anthropogenic impacts on marine systems.

Main scientific results

• in the period from 2002 to the present, under the leadership of Peter O. Zavyalov, a program of integrated field monitoring of the Aral Sea was developed, which allowed us to reach a new level of understanding of the physical mechanisms that determine the regime and variability of the sea in the current conditions of acute shortage of flow of its feeding rivers;
• based on annual field measurements (2005-2016), numerical modeling, and remote sensing, the regularities of transport of river pollutants in the coastal zone of the Russian sector of the Black sea are described. A numerical model of the dynamics of river plumes is constructed;
• comprehensive studies of the southwestern Atlantic shelf, which is affected by the variability of the flow of the Parana and Uruguay rivers, have been carried out. One of the results of the work was the discovery of a previously unknown flow in the opposite direction ("Rio Grande current") on the shelf to the West of the Brazilian flow, which has a runoff character.

Author of the monograph " physical Oceanography of the dying Aral Sea "(2005) and more than 80 scientific articles, as well as a number of popular scientific publications.
