My research project focuses on the effect of the construction of a hydroelectric dam on permafrost soil in Inukjuak as a collaboration with many partners. Hydroelectric dams have been shown to alter and increase the amount of methylmercury in river which could be of concern for nearby population that rely on this source of water. […]

Graduated from a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 2018, I’m currently working in this laboratory for Hg analysis in many types of samples and its bioaccessibility

Aquatic ecosystems are considered as the first compartments that receive multiples pollutants from human activities. My research background is mainly in aquatic ecology. I am currently working on trace metals cycling in small freshwater ecosystems. I am interested in looking at the effects of zooplankton vertical migration on mercury cycling in boreal lakes. More specifically, […]

Methylmercury increase in rivers can be provoked by landscape alterations such as wildfires, deforestation or hydroelectric dams. My research centers on a genomic understanding of the role of mercury-methylating microbial communities in such impacted environments. At present I am particularly interested in the phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of methylators in the context of elucidating the […]
