معرفی
Nuša Cukrov is a Research associate at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia, affiliated with the Division for Marine and Environmental Research and the Laboratory for physical chemistry of traces. Her work focuses on marine environmental systems, particularly the Krka River Estuary in Croatia, where she investigates sediment composition and contaminant dynamics.
Her research spans Marine Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Sedimentology, with specialized expertise in Trace Metal Analysis (copper, mercury, vanadium), Microplastics distribution, and Karst Hydrology. She examines ecological risks from anthropogenic pollution in estuarine and subterranean aquatic systems, employing advanced analytical techniques to assess metal speciation and microplastic transport across salinity gradients.
Analysis of her 2019-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on the Krka River Estuary, with key themes including sediment diagenesis, metal contamination sources, microplastic pollution pathways, and microbial community dynamics in anchialine caves. Her methodological approach integrates voltammetry, metagenomics, and radon tracing to address nutrient fluxes and contaminant behavior in complex hydrological systems.
She operates within the Laboratory for physical chemistry of traces, collaborating extensively with international teams on projects ranging from ecological video monitoring of Marine Protected Areas to karstic groundwater discharge studies. Her co-authorship patterns indicate strong interdisciplinary networks across marine biology, geochemistry, and environmental engineering disciplines.
