 Getting Salts:) Hi All salty dogs! Nice to meet you! Let me introduce myself.
My name is Igor Shkvorets.
I received my degree in Oceanography in 1981 from Odessa Hydrometeorological Institute (USSR). For 20 years I worked in the Marine Hydrophysical Institute of Academy of Science of Ukraine in the Department of Metrology and held the positions from an Engineer to Head of the department. I conducted development of the standards and methods for the metrological support of the oceanographic measurements and took part in numerous oceanographic expeditions, providing on-ship salinity measurements and calibration of CTD-systems. In 1996 I completed the training courses in the laboratory measurement of salinity in OSIL in Petersfield, UK. In 2001 I moved to Canada and worked for 6 months for Guildline Ltd., providing manufacturing calibration of the Autosal and Portasal salinometers. Since 2002 I have been working for RBR Ltd. as an oceanographer. My latest development is the Micro-Salinometer MS-310. My interests are in salinometry, oceanographic measurements and photography.
