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.

          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.
