The Institut des sciences de la mer de Rimouski (ISMER) at the Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) is looking for a PhD student to join a multidisciplinary project looking at the role of geological carbon sources in the modern carbon cycle of the estuary and Gulf of St Lawrence. This research will contribute to a better understanding of the interactions between geological and biological carbon reservoirs in a rapidly changing coastal ocean environment. environment. The project is being carried out jointly with professors from ISMER (André Pellerin and Guillaume St-Onge) and Université Laval (Patrick Lajeunesse), Quebec.
Project 1 in marine geochemistry - Geological carbon sources and their role in the modern carbon cycle and the ecosystems of the Estuary and Gulf of St Lawrence.
Project 2 in geomorphology, sedimentology and marine geology - Origin, distribution and formation dynamics of methane vents in the Estuary and Gulf of St Lawrence.
Applications will be assessed from 15 June 2025 and this, until the position is filled.
