🌿🔬 Science of Living Solutions: How the Department of Environmental Technologies Prepares the Foundation for Ukraine's Green Recovery

Even under the difficult conditions of wartime, we continue our scientific research. On the contrary – today, environmental science is becoming a practical tool for rebuilding our country.
🌱 Our research focus:

• Phytoremediation of degraded soils
  
• Biological soil crusts (biocrusts)
  
• Biomonitoring and Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
  

👩🔬 Our researchers in action:

• Yuliia Ishchenko (2nd year) researches biocrust microorganisms that form a natural protective soil layer
  
• Oleksandra Mulyk (5th year) studies hyperaccumulator plants capable of cleansing soils from heavy metals

🧪 Our goal: creating practical technologies for reclaiming technogenic landscapes, industrial sites, and territories affected by war.

💚 Every research project is a step toward environmentally safe, economically feasible restoration of Ukraine.
