معرفی
Audrey Limoges is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of New Brunswick (UNB). She holds a PhD in Earth Sciences and specializes in climate-driven marine environmental changes. Her research focuses on understanding how climate variations influence marine primary production, sea ice dynamics, and ecosystem resilience.
Her work integrates paleoenvironmental proxies such as diatoms, dinoflagellate cysts, and ancient DNA to reconstruct historical climate-ocean interactions. Key research themes include Arctic polynya dynamics, harmful algal blooms, and the impacts of climate fluctuations on human migration patterns. Limoges collaborates with organizations like Geotop, ArcticNet, and MEOPAR to address coastal hazards and marine productivity dynamics in regions like the St. Lawrence Estuary and Labrador Sea.
Teaching responsibilities include core courses in environmental earth sciences, field-based stratigraphy, climate history, and oceanography. She actively supervises graduate students across multiple institutions, including UNB and Université du Québec à Rimouski. Limoges' fieldwork spans Arctic and subarctic regions, with recent expeditions focusing on Greenland shelf sediments and Nunatsiavut coastal environments.
Professional affiliations include leadership roles in the PAGES Marine Arctic Diatoms (MARDI) working group and contributions to interdisciplinary projects like the RED-AO Arctic Ocean study. Her research emphasizes translating paleoenvironmental findings into actionable insights for communities confronting climate-driven environmental shifts.
