She addresses environmental influences on skeletal biology, such as climate, diseases, and diet, and explores the health, lifestyle, and dietary patterns of historical Euro-Quebec populations. Ribot employs an interdisciplinary approach for a comprehensive understanding of past populations, analyzing morphological variation and adapting to economic changes throughout history. She participates actively in various professional organizations and has received multiple awards for her academic contributions, including recognitions for her research presentations. Ribot's dedication to education is evident through her supervision of several graduate students and her involvement in numerous community outreach events to enhance public understanding of bioarchaeology.
