To the 65th Anniversary of a prominent oceanologist, Candidate of Geographical Sciences, Associate Professor Raisa Borovskaya

On the 6th of February, 2019, Raisa Vasilyevna Borovskaya celebrated her 65th Anniversary. She dedicated most part of her life to the work in the Southern Scientific Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (YugNIRO) (since December 2016 — Kerch Branch (“YugNIRO”) of the FSBSI “AzNIIRKH”, since 2019 — the Azov-Black Sea Branch of the FSBSI “VNIRO” (“AzNIIRKH”). Raisa Borovskaya began her work as an engineer-oceanologist. It was her who devised the concept of applying remote sensing of marine surface to the fisheries needs. On the basis of satellite and conventional oceanographic contact observations, she studied such phenomena as upwelling and currents, ice formation, transformation and drift, hypoxia in the near bottom layer and fish kill events. She is also engaged in assessment of the influence of abiotic environmental factors on fishing performance in some areas of the Azov and Black Sea Basin. Total number of her published works is about 70, out of which two are monographies and one is the Candidate's Thesis “Results of oceanographic and fisheries research of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov on the basis of satellite information”. In addition to her research activity, Raisa Borovskaya is involved in teaching at the departments “Aquatic Bioresources and Mariculture” and “Marine Ecology” of the FSBEI HE “Kerch State Maritime Technological University”.
