Anna A. Romanovskaya was born in 1973 in Moscow. In 1990, she was accepted to the Biology and Chemistry department of the Moscow Pedаgogical State University. She graduated in 1995 with honours and entered a postgraduate program at the Yu. A. Izrael Institute of Global Climate and Ecology. In 2000, she passed Ph.D. defense in ecology (biology sciences) on the subject of Antropogenic emission of nitrogen monoxide by farming lands in Russia. Since 2000, she has worked at Yu.A. Izrael Institute of Global Climate and Ecology, Russian Academy of Sciences, as a leading engineer, research associate, leading research associate, head of laboratory, head of department for Greenhouse gases flow monitoring in natural and disturbed ecosystems. In 2006, she was awarded a degree of senior research associate. Since 2015, Dr Romanovskaya has worked as Deputy Director for Science at the Yu. A. Izrael Institute of Global Climate and Ecology. In 2008, she passed the defence of a doctoral thesis “Fundamentals of Monitoring of Antropogenic Greenhouse Gases (СО2, CH4, N2O) Emissions and Off-Flow in Livestock Farming, Agricultural Land Use and Cahnges in Use of Land in Russia” and was awarded the degree of Dr. habil. Biology. Since 2012, Dr Romanovskaya has been a Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Ecology Sciences. In 2016, she was elected a Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Sciences in Geography. Her tenure as the Institute director began in 2017.

Area of expertise: biogenic cycles of nitrogen and carbon; evaluation methodologies for greenhouse gases emissions and off-flow in agriculture and land use; soil carbon balance components in long-fallow lands; simulation of organic carbon reserves in soils and model simulation verification using experimental data.

Dr Romanovskaya participates in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): worked as an expert for Editorial Board for IPCC database for greenhouse gases emission factors, lead author of 2006 IPCC methodological guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories, lead author of IPCC Working Group III contribution the Fifth Assessment Report, reviewer of the IPCC reports. She participates in the work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Bodies, member of the Russian delegation to the international UNFCCC climate negotiations.

Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Scientific Council on global environmental issues under the RAS Presidium. Member of the Bureau of the Department of Earth Sciences of the RAS.
