Boros Emil PhD, Senior Researcher also, Head of the Department of Animal Ecology of the Danube Research Institute. His field of research is to study the structure, biological functions, and long-term changes of aquatic, wetland, and grassland ecosystems and their communities (mainly waterfowl), with special consideration for the effects of climate change, land use, water use, river management, agriculture, and other human activities. The main task of Boros Emil is to conduct and organize national and international limnological studies of soda-salt waters and shallow lakes, taking into account the abiotic nature, the nutrient cycle and trophic relationships, as well as the ecological role of animal communities (especially waterfowl). He is the author of many scientific articles and theses. The h-index in Scopus is equal to 12.

Currently, Boros Emil is a member of the research group, as well as a collaborator of the GF project on scientific and (or) scientific and technical projects for 2020-2022 with a implementation period of 27 months AP08856160 "Assessment of the ecological state of the unique soda and salt ecosystems of Kazakhstan".
