Tiffany Audet

MSc – UQAM

Supervisor: Anne de Vernal

Research topic: Hypoxia can be of natural or anthropogenic origin; its recent changes in the Laurentian Channel are non-linear and could correspond to quasi-cyclical variability. The method consists in the analysis of benthic foraminifera in the superficial sediments (0-15 cm) of cores taken during the summer of 2018, from sites that had already been cored about twenty years ago. The comparison of the results obtained on the core series makes it possible to evaluate the impact of hypoxia on the benthic habitat.

Camille Brice

PhD Candidate – UQAR-ISMER

Supervisor: Jean-Carlos Montero-Serrano & Richard Saint-Louis

Research topic: Spatio-temporal variations of heavy metals in sediments of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago

Charles Brunette

Pierre-Olivier Couette

PhD Candidate – U. Laval

Supervisor: Patrick Lajeunesse

Research topic: This project will focus on understanding Late Quaternary glacial dynamics in the Clyde Inlet fjord-cross-shelf trough system (Northeastern Baffin Island) using high resolution swath bathymetry data, acoustic sub-bottom profiles and sediment cores.

Quentin Duboc

PhD Candidate – UQAR-ISMER

Supervisors: Guillaume St-Onge & Patrick Lajeunesse

Research topic: My project will focus on the dynamic of the collapse of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in Hudson Strait and Labrador fjords, and on catastrophic events which may have been caused by the deglaciation in these places. Sediment cores and geophysic data will help to establish the quaternary stratigraphy and highlight sediment structures formed by the deglaciation steps or actual sedimentary processes.

Kevin Duquette

MSc – UQAR-ISMER

Supervisors: Louis-Philippe Nadeau & Bruno Tremblay

Research topic: The goal of the research is to model the crucial role of under-resolved ocean mechanisms along sea ice leads (Linear Kinematic Features) and their associated heat fluxes. Along these LKF are discontinuities in the movement of ice floes and ice-ocean surface stresses. Such forcing excites near-inertial waves and narrow bands of large vertical velocities. Both can induce heat transports into mixed layer. This adds to convective heat transport related to sea ice formation and associated brine rejection.

Joshua R. Evans

PhD – U. New Brunswick

Supervisors: Audrey Limoges & Gary Saunders

Research topic : We use a high resolution numerical model (ANHA12 configuration of NEMO) with a
Lagrangian particle tracking tool, ARIANE, to simulation the spread of pollutant in various
sites along the shipping routes within the Arctic Ocean.

Jade Falardeau

PhD Candidate – UQAM

Supervisor: Anne de Vernal

Research topic: Reconstructions of productivity and past water properties in the nearshore areas of northern Yukon over the last centuries to better evaluate the effects of climate change on the quality of coastal harvesting for Inuvialuit and Gwich’in people.

Chuanshuai Fu

MSc – U. of Alberta

Supervisor: Paul G. Myers

Research topic: Working with the numerical output from the coupled ocean/sea ice models like ANHA12 to analyze key processes and their variability, explaining how the ocean works and evolves, which are carried out by using MATLAB for visualization purposes.
Baffin Bay has undergone major changes within recent years. I evaluate the exchanges through the gateway straits, to find out how the physical processes might influence the oceanic variability in Baffin Bay.

Marie-Camille Gasparetto

MSc – UQAM

Supervisor: Anne de Vernal

Research topic: Decadal-Centennial climate and ocean changes in the subpolar NW North Atlantic during the last 2,000 years

Marilena Geng

PhD Candidate – U. Memorial

Supervisor: Lev Tarasov

Research topic: Constrain the penultimate glacial cycle and examine the data-constrained phase space and ice/climate interactions with a focus on termination II.

Juliette Girard

PhD Candidate – ISMER-UQAR

Supervisor: Guillaume St-Onge

Research topic: My PhD project focuses on the rapid fluctuation of the geomagnetic field in the Arctic during the Holocene. I intend to identify the parameters influencing DRM acquistion in sediments to build paleomagnetic secular variation records at high latitudes (80 degrees N) and to determine if the magnetic field variations in the Arctic are similar to those outside the Arctic.

Philippe Roberge

MSc – UQAM

Supervisor: Anne de Vernal

Research topic: As part of the project “Dynamique et prédictibilité des changements climatiques et environnementaux en cours le long des marges est-canadiennes”, we are using sclerochronology on bivalve shells from the eastern Canadian coast as proxies. By observing the difference in growth rate and in certain elements (Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Mg, Mn, Pb, Ti, U, etc.) through the shell, we aim to study the state of the climate through the Holocene.

Samira Samimi

PhD Candidate – U. Calgary

Supervisor: Shawn Marshall

Research topic: Meltwater retention, refreezing, and drainage mechanism in the Greenland ice sheet percolation zone and the effects of meltwater on the isotope stratigraphy in supraglacial snow and firn.

Antoine Savard

PhD Candidate – McGill

Supervisor Bruno Tremblay

Research topic:
Integration of damage in viscous-plastic rheology. Development of parameterizations for the temporal evolution of contact normals between ice floes and the dilatancy effect in idealized 1D (shear) experiments. Implementation of this parameterization and a new prognostic equation for the dilatancy effect in a granular sea ice model. The goal is to improve sea-ice predictions for the pan-Arctic at grid resolutions of several kilometres over periods of days to season using a multi-model hybrid approach based on a Discrete Element Model on a regional scale, embedded into a Continuum Model on pan-Arctic scale.

Song Tengfei

PhD Candidate – UQAM

Supervisor: Anne de Vernal

Research topic: I intend to reconstruct the sedimentary dynamics and ocean circulation changes of western Arctic Ocean since the middle Pleistocene by the radiogenic isotopes(Sr-Nd & U-Th). Try to obtain the signal of Pacific water inflow when the Bering Strait is open and figure out the Nd behavior from the coast to the pelagic basin of Arctic Ocean.

Anna To

MSc – UQAM

Supervisor: Anne de Vernal

Research topic: The goal of my projet is to trace the human occupation and how it has changed since the last glaciation in the Hudson Strait. The characterization of the variation of the main parameters such as sea-ice cover, sea-surface temperature and nutrients will be made from marine sediments to see the impact on the fishery resources. Dinocysts and diatoms will be used as proxies.
