studies on marine pollution, chemistry of atmospheric aerosols, water geochemistry and chemical oceanography. Emphasis on transfer mechanisms of major and trace constituents from the atmosphere and land to the marine and other aquatic reservoirs, and their role in biogeochemical processes across the reservoirs.

Herut received his PhD in 1992 (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) and was promoted to Senior Scientist (full Research Professor) in 2003. He was appointed as the Director General of Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute since 2005 (www.ocean.org.il).
