Current research interests:
1. ocean tipping points;
2. direct and indirect ecotoxicological effects of microplastics in marine environment: microplastic as a vector for various pollutants and its impact on marine organisms;
3. physical properties of microplastics and their impact on ice formation in polar areas.
