Summary
Raoul Couture is an aquatic geochemist and professor with 12 years of academic and research leadership experience, currently a Full Professor of Chemistry at Université Laval and Associate Editor for Limnology & Oceanography. He studies coupled geochemical cycles in lakes and sediments with a focus on northern environments, blending field work, lab geochemistry, and computational tools (see his biogeochemistry code on GitHub). His career spans international roles from deputy director of the Takuvik International Research Laboratory to research positions in Norway and Canada, reflecting strong collaborative and cross-institutional program-building skills. Raoul’s work often connects catchment processes to sedimentary biogeochemistry, informing understanding of northern freshwater responses to environmental change. He brings both deep disciplinary expertise and practical experience translating complex geochemical data into actionable scientific synthesis.
