The main areas of research

• Structure and dynamics of ocean pelagic ecosystems (primary production, heterotrophic destruction, phyto- and zooplankton ecology, trophic interactions, detritus fluxes into the deep ocean)
• Biota in the marine carbon cycle
• Mesoscale processes in the structure and productivity of pelagic ecosystems
• Ecosystem dynamics in the Black Sea with the impact of human activities and climate change

Building-up of high biological productivity within the hydrophysical front
