Jean-François Lapierre is an Associate Professor at the University of Montreal. His research focuses on the intersection of biogeochemistry and landscape ecology, particularly how ecological and biogeochemical processes are coupled across environmental gradients. He studies patterns of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems, which play a crucial role in carbon, nutrient, and contaminant dynamics in lakes, rivers, and wetlands. His current projects investigate the impacts of hydrology, land cover, and land use on the optical and chemical properties of DOM, as well as the response of aquatic systems to rapid environmental changes. He actively supervises graduate students and is involved in various research initiatives related to aquatic biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics.
Most programs require French B2 level; specific departments may require C1 or C2.
