Olivier (GJ) Riche

Spécialiste des sciences physiques/ Assistant de recherche

Je suis presentement specialiste des sciences physiques et assistant de recherche et originellement un boursier postdoctoral au MPO et a ECCC. J'assiste les chercheurs scientifiques et les autres specialistes au sein du laboratoire de modelisation numerique de Diane Lavoie et produit du materiel de recherche et des articles scientifiques. Je prend part a des ateliers et reunions scientifiques aux niveaux regionaux et nationaux et contribue a l'effort de modelisation visant des programmes de recherche oceanographique tels que le Programme de Monitorage de la Zone Atlantique.

Je suis aussi depuis Mai 2019, le co-president de Reseau de Debut de Carriere en Sciences, supervise ces activites au niveau national et collabore avec des collegues de tous niveaux d'experiences au niveau scientifique et administratif au cours de reunions non-specifiquement scientifique pour aider le MPO a atteindre son but d'excellence.

Recherche et / ou projets en cours

1. The Gulf of St. Lawrence and nearby aquatic systems influencing its circulation and the lower trophic levels of its aquatic ecosystem.

2. Modelling the carbon and nutrients cycle in the water column

3. Modelling the interactions between biogeochemical cycles, physical processes, and phytoplankton

4. Model validation with observations

 

 

Énoncés de recherches/projets

Modelling and understanding the interannual variability of the primary production in the Gulf of St. Lawrence as part of Diane Lavoie's modelling team.

Contributing with biogeochemical model products to the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program.
