1968-now, Marine Hydrophysical Intstitute,
senior laboratory assistant, graduate student, junior scientist, scientist, senior
scientist,leading scientist and
scientific secretary of Marine Hydrophysical Institute.
Specialization
E.E. Sovga's scientific interests are connected with the key
problems of the condition and evolution of the Black Sea ecosystems, and
concern geochemical processes taking place both in the water column
of the Black Sea and in the sea–atmosphere and sea–bottom sediments
interfaces, as well as the environmental problems of the Black Sea
region associated with them.
The field of E.E. Sovga research includes not only the deep-sea area
with its unique hydrogen sulphide zone but also the shallow water
one in the North-West Sea, and the ecologically vulnerable sea–land
boundary zones undergone an intensive anthropogenic load, as well.
Main Directions of Scientific Activity
Features of geochemical processes taking place in the deep-sea
hydrogen sulphide zone of the Black Sea
Based on the experimental and theoretical researches, a geochemical
transformation of inorganic forms of sulfur in the hydrogen sulphide
zone of the Black Sea was investigated and for the first time the
nature of a deep-sea turbid water layer in the Black Sea was found
out. The features of a geochemical behaviour of some heavy metals
under conditions of the hydrogen sulphide zone were investigated and
chemical forms of their presence in water column, accounting the
state of carbonate system components, as well as in the water–bottom
sediment boundary zone were defined.
E.E. Sovga in the co-authorship with other scientists studied the
ecologically sensitive zones at the land–sea interface and divided
the Black Sea coastal territories of Ukraine into regions according
to their economic activities. |
