Bio

Hi I’m Audrey,

I am an assistant professor in physical geography at the department of geography at the Université de Montréal. I specialize in watershed biogeochemistry and hydrology. My research focuses on headwater catchments, those that have the strongest land-water connectivity💧.

I am fascinated with data visualization and I love the endless possibilities that programming can offer. I am a strong advocate for open and FARE science.

My personal time is devoted to my three young children 🚸. I love all textile arts! If you see me wearing something woolly, I probably made it 🧶

Teaching

I teach several courses at the department including the first field course (Terrain 1 | GEO1315), the watershed course (Bassins Versants | GEO3162) and the ecosystem dynamics course (Dynamiques des Écosystèmes | GEO6100).

You can visualise the data collected for the physical geography portion of the field courses 👇 across different editions. Those reports were produced in collaboration with students and grad-students as part of individual projects using R programming and Quarto.
