Sarah-Claude Bourdeau-Goulet holds a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal. Her research project investigated the impact of climate change on a series of climate indices across Canada using models from CMIP5 and CMIP6.
With Ouranos since 2021, Sarah-Claude is part of the Climate Scenarios and Services specialist group.
Biljana Music holds a Master's degree in Meteorology from the University of Belgrade and a PhD in Environmental Sciences from the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQÀM). She worked at the University of Belgrade for nearly ten years, where she taught courses in meteorology and climatology, and researched the physics of clouds and severe weather.
David Huard holds a PhD in Water Sciences from INRS-ETE and conducted postdoctoral studies on sea ice modeling at McGill University. He has taught at college and at UQÀM, and has worked as a scientific consultant for various companies, departments and organizations.
With Ouranos since 2009, he conducts climate change studies for issues related to precipitation, hydrology and electricity production.
Holder of a PhD in Atmospheric Physics from the University of Toulouse III, Émilie Bresson has worked as a research engineer on intense rain events and a postdoctoral researcher on winter storms at Météo-France. A postdoctoral researcher in collaboration with UQÀM and Ouranos, she evaluated the ice and then the snow on the ground in the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM5). She then studied the effects of climate change on mine restoration with UQAT and Polytechnique-Montréal, as a postdoctoral researcher and then as an associate researcher.
Travis Logan holds a Master’s in Geographical Information Systems from the University of Calgary. He worked as a G.I.S. analyst with the Canadian Forest Service in Edmonton and with Nature Conservancy Canada in Montreal.
With Ouranos since 2006, he collaborates on a large number of Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation projects within the Climate Science group.
Martin Leduc holds a PhD in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQÀM). He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Concordia University from 2013 to 2015, where he studied the interactions between anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, carbon cycle dynamics and climate change.
With Ouranos since 2015, Martin focuses on the study of natural climate variability through the production of a large set of high-resolution regional climate simulations within the Climate Science group.
Hélène Côté holds a Master’s in Atmospheric sciences from Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM). In 1994, she joined what was to become the regional modeling group at UQÀM that developed the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM).
With Ouranos since 2002, Hélène Côté focuses on processing and analysis of simulations of regional climate models within the Climate Sciences team and on the dissemination of scientific information on climate and climate change.
Dominique Paquin holds a Master’s in Atmospheric sciences from Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM). Since 1997, she has worked as a research assistant in the regional climate modeling group of the department of earth and atmospheric sciences at UQÀM.
With Ouranos since 2002, she is particularly interested in the modeling of intense precipitation, ice storms and the atmospheric humidity balance and in the communication of climate sciences within the Climate Science group.
Diane Chaumont holds a Master’s in Physical geography from the University of Montreal. During the 1990s, she conducted research on water and sediment sampling, and data analysis, mainly through the St. Lawrence Centre and INRS-ETE. At CERCA, she learned to twin hydrological and meteorological models during studies on the Saguenay floods.
Diane joined Ouranos in 2003, first as a specialist, then as coordinator of the Climate Scenarios and Services group. She became responsible for integrating scientific information for Climate Portraits in 2023.
A climate researcher since 2011, Louis-Philippe Caron spent 4 years at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, specialized in basic and applied research, with funding from the public and the private, at national, European and international level. He co-managed a group of around 25 researchers, within a department of around 100 people, and participated in service contracts for the development of the Copernicus climate change service, including one to meet the needs of the insurance and reinsurance industry.
