Ph.D. (Doctor of Biological Sciences), Professor Department of Integrated International Ecological Problems and Wildlife Management - Head of Department

Natalia Chernykh joined the Department in September 2019.

In 1985, she graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University with a degree in Soil Science.

She got her Ph.D. in Biology (Candidate of Science) in 1988 and her Doctor of Science degree in 1995. In 2002, she received the academic rank of Professor.

In 1995–2021, she worked at RUDN University: in 2005–2016 as the Dean of the School of Environment, and in 2005–2021 as the Head of the Department of Forensic Ecology.

Main research projects:

  • Assessment of migration and transformation processes of heavy metals, radionuclides, crude oil and refined products in various components of the biosphere
  • Development of a scientific basis for the land-use optimization amid chemical pollution of land in various regions of the world
  • Development of a research and methodological framework for carrying out a forensic environmental impact assessment as well as creating a comprehensive training system for forensic experts in ecology.

Natalia Chernykh is the author of 300 scientific papers (including 17 monographs and 43 teaching and learning kits). She has supervised 18 Ph.D. theses (Candidate of Science) and 2 doctoral theses (Doctor of Science).

Natalia Chernykh is a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, the Russian Ecological Academy, the International Academy of Ecology, Man and Nature Protection Sciences, the Russian Geographical Society, an environmental forensic expert, a member of the thesis boards at RUDN University specializing in Ecology, Microbiology and Technosphere Safety.

She has received a prize from the All-Russian Exhibition Center for a series of papers on heavy metals, the Vernadsky National Environmental Award, a diploma of the Crystal Compass National Award.

Natalia Chernykh was also awarded:
— Certificate of Appreciation of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science;
— Russian Field Gold Order of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences;
— Vernadsky Order;
— Certificate of Merit of the Moscow City Duma;
— Moscow City Duma’s 25th Anniversary Commemorative Medal.
