About

I am an assistant professor of oceanography at the Institut des sciences de la mer (ISMER) of the Université du Québec à Rimouski in Eastern Canada. I focus on biogeochemical and physical oceanography.

***I am looking for students to form my research group! More details here.***

Research

In my research, I am interested in the influence of physical processes on ocean biogeochemistry. Deoxygenation, acidification, and ocean carbon uptake are influenced not only by biological processes but also by physics. Using ocean data and models, I try to understand what controls marine biogeochemical cycles and the changes they undergo.

Here are some of the specific questions I focus on:

• The different processes that determine the biogeochemical evolution of waters
• Deoxygenation in the St Lawrence Gulf and Lower Estuary
• Impact of climate change on the biogeochemistry of the St Lawrence
• The climatic variability of the Northwest Atlantic and its influence on biogeochemistry
• The role of submesoscale variability on marine biogeochemistry

To address these questions, I mostly use data collected from ships or by autonomus sensors, sometimes complemented by ocean models and reanalyses.
