Dr. Audrey Limoges

Biography

Audrey Limoges is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of New Brunswick, specializing in climate-driven changes in marine ecosystems. Her research investigates how climate impacts marine primary production and the resulting effects on food webs, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Limoges employs tools such as phytoplankton biogenic tracers and sediment traps to monitor shifts in production patterns and phytoplankton assemblages over seasonal to millennial timescales. This work is crucial for aiding communities and policymakers in adapting to the consequences of altered marine production. Specific areas of interest encompass the interplay between climate variables and marine protists, harmful algal blooms, as well as the historical context of human settlements in relation to climate change. Limoges has contributed substantially to our understanding of how environmental changes influence marine ecosystems, particularly in Arctic regions. She collaborates with various research projects and embodies a commitment to educating future scientists in her field through various undergraduate and graduate courses.
