معرفی
Dr. John Chételat is an Adjunct Research Professor at Carleton University, affiliated with Environment Canada's National Wildlife Research Centre. He holds a PhD from Université de Montréal and MSc/BSc from the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on metal pollution fate in ecosystems, Arctic limnology, and stable isotope applications. He leads projects in the Canadian Arctic (NWT, Nunavut, Nunavik) and Gatineau Park, examining metal bioaccumulation in food webs and environmental recovery from mining impacts.
Education:
- PhD in Biology, Université de Montréal
- MSc in Biology, University of Ottawa
- BSc in Biology, University of Ottawa
Research emphasizes metal pollution dynamics (mercury, arsenic, lead), geographic gradient studies, and climate change effects on Arctic ecosystems. He co-supervises graduate students in environmental science and collaborates on paleolimnological analyses of wildfire and mining impacts. His work integrates field studies, stable isotopes, and interdisciplinary approaches to address ecological contamination challenges.
Advising and Grants: Supervised 7+ graduate students (PhD and MSc) on topics like metal bioaccumulation, Arctic limnology, and environmental recovery. His research is supported by Environment Canada and collaborative funding with universities.
Labs/Teams: Based at the National Wildlife Research Centre, collaborating with Carleton’s Department of Geography and Environment Canada teams. Engages in Arctic research networks and interdisciplinary environmental initiatives.
