Introduction

I am investigating a radionuclides dynamics in the river system, including post-Fukushima, and Chernobyl accident area.Research interests include: 1) Elucidating the dissolved phase radionuclides (e.g., Cs-137, Sr-90) concentration formation processes at the Fukushima & Chernobyl rivers, 2) Parametric and numerical modeling of radionuclides concentration in the river water, and Exploring how climate and hydrological background affects radionuclides dynamics in the ecosystems, using hydro-meteorological and radionuclides measurement techniques approaches. I am a current SATREPS project member and am responsible for ensuring qualitydata collection from the Fukushima and Chernobyl sites.

Main Focus of Research

• Concentration formation processes of Sr-90 & Cs-137 in the river water system.
• Modeling of Sr-90 & Cs-137 discharge from the contaminated catchment.

Fields of Research

Forest ecology, Forest hydrology

Keywords

Radionuclides dynamics, Sr-90 & Cs-137, river water system.
