Clement P. Bataille

Clement P. Bataille is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Ottawa, where he leads the SAiVE (Spatiotemporal Analysis of Isotopic Variations in the Environment) Laboratory. His research focuses on applying isotope geochemistry, GIS, and data science to address environmental sustainability challenges, including geolocation of organisms, climate change impacts on river systems, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction. With a PhD from the University of Utah and postdoctoral experience at the University of North Carolina, he previously worked at Chevron Corporation, gaining private-sector insights. His interdisciplinary work bridges geology, ecology, and archaeology.

Education:

• PhD in Geology, University of Utah, 2014
• MSc in Environmental Sciences, Institut National Polytechniques de Toulouse, 2008

Research Interests:

• Isotope geolocation tools for wildlife and forensic science
• Chemical weathering dynamics in rivers and subarctic regions
• Paleoenvironmental reconstruction using isotopic records
• Migration patterns of insects and megafauna

Labs/Teams:

SAiVE Laboratory at the University of Ottawa, collaborating with departments of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Biology. The lab develops isotope-based solutions for environmental sustainability, including IsoBank, a global isotopic data repository.
