Marianne Falardeau is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Sciences at TÉLUQ University since September 2024, with dual affiliations as an associate researcher at the Institute of Integrative and Systems Biology (Laval University) and scientist at the Institut Nordique du Québec. Her work bridges polar marine ecology, community-based research, and science communication.
- PhD in Natural Resource Sciences (McGill University, 2020)
- Postdoctoral Fellowship at CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research Centre (2020-2024)
- Master’s and Bachelor’s in Biology (Université Laval)
Her research focuses on Arctic marine ecosystem dynamics, particularly studying Arctic char fisheries, aquatic ecosystem services, and climate change impacts through transdisciplinary frameworks that integrate Inuit Knowledge. She leads fieldwork across Nunavut, the St. Lawrence region, and Antarctic zones, emphasizing community resilience in environmental transitions. Her publications reveal evolving patterns in polar food webs and socio-ecological adaptation strategies, with growing emphasis on decolonizing research practices.
