Jill SUTTON

Jill SUTTON is a Lecturer at the University of Western Brittany, affiliated with the LEMAR Laboratory. Her research focuses on biogeochemical cycles, isotopic chemistry, and marine geochemistry with applications to paleoenvironmental reconstruction. She investigates processes such as silicon cycling, ocean acidification effects on marine organisms, and microfossil-based paleoproxy development.

Key research areas include:

• Marine biogeochemical cycles, particularly silicon and trace metal dynamics
• Isotope geochemistry (δ26Mg, δ11B, silicon isotopes) in bivalves, radiolarians, and diatoms
• Climate change impacts on calcifying organisms like corals and mollusks
• Coastal and open-ocean silica cycling mechanisms

Her work contributes to understanding ocean acidification effects through long-term coral geochemical records and experimental studies. She participates in major initiatives like the French GEOTRACES North Atlantic transect (GEOVIDE) and collaborators with institutions like the Silica School network. Ongoing projects address biogenic silica burial fluxes and the interplay between trace metals and ocean productivity.

Advising and grants: Collaborates on projects such as Cocoa DRASTIC, GEOVIDE, GLASS, and PACT. No specific student advisees are listed in the provided text.
