Abstract: Decades after a ban on hunting, and despite focused management interventions, the endangered St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) population has failed to recover. We applied a population viability analysis to simulate the responses… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2024.1399961
Abstract: Coastal hypoxia, driven by remineralization of chlorophyllic particulate organic matter (POM) in dark environments, poses a threat to deep estuarine and shelf ecosystems. To better understand the fate of POM along a depth gradient, we… read more here.

Abstract: Brightness temperature is operationally used to retrieve sea surface salinity (TB-SSS) over the global ocean, but is contaminated by land and sea ice in close proximity. Ocean color can be used to retrieve SSS (OC-SSS)… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-17-547-2020
Abstract: Abstract. The Saguenay Fjord is a major tributary of the St. Lawrence Estuary and is strongly stratified. A 6–8 m wedge of brackish water typically overlies up to 270 m of seawater. Relative to the St. Lawrence… read more here.
