Scientific Seminar on Heavy Metal Pollution in Snow Cover Held at the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology

On October 27, 2026, another scientific seminar was held at the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

Talshyn Orazbayeva delivered a presentation entitled “Assessment of Aerotechnogenic Pollution of Snow Cover in Southeastern Kazakhstan Based on Heavy Metal Content.”

The seminar focused on the contamination of snow cover by heavy metals resulting from atmospheric deposition, as well as the spatial distribution of these pollutants. Particular attention was paid to the use of snow cover as an indicator of atmospheric pollution and the assessment of anthropogenic impacts on the environment using modern pollution assessment indices.

Faculty members and doctoral students of the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology participated in the discussion. Participants exchanged views, discussed the presented research findings, and explored prospects for further research in this field.
