Maryna Strokal

Dr. Maryna Strokal is an Associate Professor at Wageningen University & Research, leading the MARINA team focused on developing water quality modeling tools to address multi-pollutant challenges. Her research integrates social and natural sciences to explore solutions for clean water, emphasizing global and regional analyses. She is affiliated with the Earth Systems and Global Change group and contributes to international initiatives like Horizon projects. Notably, she was a member of the Wageningen Young Academy.

Her expertise spans environmental management, water quality modeling, scenario analysis, and pollution mitigation. Key projects include the Veni-funded initiative to identify optimal multi-pollutant solutions and collaborations on climate-resilient agriculture in Ukraine. She advises PhD candidates like Yanan Li and Chen Xi, guiding model development for pollution hotspots.

Publications highlight her work on microplastics, nutrient management, and antibiotic pollution, often using the MARINA model framework. Research trends focus on global river pollution dynamics, climate impacts, and sustainable practices. Awards include her Young Academy membership, reflecting her contributions to interdisciplinary science.

Dr. Strokal’s grants and advising underscore her role in shaping water policy through innovative modeling. She collaborates internationally, particularly in China and Ukraine, addressing agricultural and urban pollution challenges. The MARINA team’s work on multi-pollutant scenarios and mitigation strategies positions her at the forefront of global water quality research.
