Hi! I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Geomorphology (SpbSU, St. Petersburg), where I worked as Teaching Assistant from February 2008. My PhD proposal is about the geomorphologic structure of the formation of oceanic core complexes along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge with a special focus on sea-floor morphology of different segments with hydrothermal activity. I look forward to communicating with all of you who might be interested in this topic. 

Also I am a Junior Research Assistant of Prof. Dr. V.Yu. Kuznetsov at the laboratory of geochronology and geoecology of bottom sediments and also at the laboratory of “Palaeogeography and geomorphology of polar countries and the World Ocean” led by Prof. Joern Thiede. Main research interests include engineering and marine geomorphology and paleooceanography. I have been studying geography since 2002: Master of science at Pomor Master Program for Applied Polar and Marine Sciences (2009, International program of St. Petersburg State University, Russia and University of Bremen, Germany) and Bachelor of geography at Department of Geomorphology (2006). I had experience of participation in “Baffin bay-2008” expedition (August-September 2008) onboard of CCGS“Hudson” with colleges from Bedford Institute of Oceanography (Halifax), Geotop Centre of UQAM (Montreal) and other Canadian and international scientists. Main hobbies are geoblogging and web-design.
