Biology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biological oceanography researchers at ISMER-UQAR focus on organisms and microorganisms living in marine environments, such as plankton, algae, crustaceans, mollusks, fishes, and mammals. Their research includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Trophic relationships between these organisms and factors that can disrupt these relationships, such as climate change and pollution;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Species interactions and changes based on the physical, chemical, and geological parameters of the environment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Influence of anthropogenic and natural disturbances on biodiversity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Aquaculture (e.g., physiology, genetics, development);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fisheries exploitation techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

    Chemistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Chemical oceanography researchers at ISMER-UQAR focus on chemical processes in the water and marine sediments. Their research includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The origins and fates of chemical constituents in marine waters;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Chemical reactions occurring in marine environments;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Effects of contaminants (organic or inorganic) and their distribution;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Gas exchanges between the atmosphere and ocean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

      Geology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Marine geology researchers at ISMER-UQAR focus on seafloor evolution, including the kinds of sediments, deposition mechanisms, and accumulation history. Their research includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Formation of ocean basins, mountain ranges, trenches, and submarine volcanoes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • How sediments are transported, lifted, and distributed to form islands and continents;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstruction using mineralogical, geochemical, and\/or magnetic properties of the sediments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

        Physics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Physical oceanography researchers at ISMER-UQAR focus on water movements influenced by different factors including tides, winds, fluctuations in freshwater discharge, and spatio-temporal variations. Their research includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Wave formation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Salinity and density gradients;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Temperature variations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sea\u2013Air energy exchanges;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Formation of turbulence zones;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Interconnected ocean\u2013temperature phenomena (global climate change, El Ni\u00f1o, hurricanes, and typhoons).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
