| Curriculum vitae : Christiane Lancelot is Professor in aquatic ecology, ecological modelling and environmental management and is head of the laboratory 'Ecologie des Systèmes Aquatiques' (ESA) at the 'Université Libre de Bruxelles' (ULB). She has expertise in plankton eco-physiology and ecological modelling focusing her activity in the study and modelling of the structure and function of marine ecosystems and the related biogeochemical C, N, P, Si and Fe cycles, in response to global (natural and human-induced) changes. In this scope, she has published >100 peer-reviewed papers in international journals and she is member of the international Scientific Committee of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP). Between 1987 and 2007 she was active in polar research and has developed in collaboration with UCL a coupled sea-ice-ocean biogeochemical model to describe phytoplankton blooms in the iron-limited Southern Ocean. As international recognition of her work in this field she was elected in 1997 to sit in the scientific committee of the Gordon Conference on Polar Marine Science and chaired the conference in 2003. Since 1971 she has a sustained interest in land-ocean interactions, especially the link between human activity and coastal eutrophication. In this scope, she recently coordinated two large interdisciplinary 'eutrophication' networks funded by the Belgian Federal Science Policy: the 1997-2010 AMORE (Advanced MOdelling and Research on Eutrophication) projects on the study and modelling of eutrophication in Southern North Sea and the 2007-2012 TIMOTHY (Tracing and Integrated MOdelling of natural and anThropogenic effects on HYdrosystems: the Scheldt River basin and adjacent coastal Nort Sea) project. |
