Preparing simulations and processing output from a biogeochemical model.  

Current research and/or projects

My current goal is to add variable boundary forcing to our existing biogeochemical model whose boundaries are currently forced with a climatology.

I am also responsible for thermographs network (PPMT, Programme permanent de monitorage des températures) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This network has been measuring coastal sea temperatures for over 20 years. 

Research and/or project statements

Previous work include:  

  • Evaluating satellite sea surface salinity as a tool for monitoring in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 
  • Thermodynamics of sea ice in the Arctic under a changing climate.
