Marina Slukovskaya is a PhD (Biology). She has 10 years of experience in bioremediation of industrially polluted and degraded areas in the Arctic and Subarctic, geochemistry and plant ecology. She is author of more than 50 scientific publications, including 3 patents for inventions. Her scientific background includes the development, scientific justification and monitoring of soil design techniques in the urban and industrial territories using mining wastes, vermiculite and organic substrates, agrochemical and toxicological studies of ecosystems at the high level of technogenic load in industrial areas, including erosion-proof grass communities on the tailing dump and Technosols on industrial barrens in the Arctic and Subarctic. Also she focuses on the development of approaches of mining wastes’ recycling as soil amendments to improve soil conditions and functions.
