Roxane Maranger PhD
CRC Tier I in Aquatic Ecosystem Science and Sustainability
President of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO 2020-2022) Twitter: Water_Rox Département des sciences biologiques Université de Montréal 1375 Avenue Thérèse-Lavoie-Roux Montreal, QC Canada CAmpus MIL, Complex des Sciences \ bur.

Roxane Maranger is originally from Northern Ontario where she had the privilege of growing up spending her summers at her family cottage exploring and playing in a lake. She saw the lake both suffer and recover from acid rain, so witnessed first hand that reversing anthropogenic effects to the environment, through the best available science, is possible.
Maranger did her B.Sc. at McGill University in Montreal, in Biology with a minor in Dramatic Arts. She completed a M.Sc. and Ph.D. at Université du Quebec à Montréal with David Bird where she worked on characterizing the role of viruses in a variety of aquatic ecosystems and collaborated with Neil Price of McGill to assess the importance of mixotrophy in the biogeochemical cycling of Fe in the oceans. She did her postdoc at the Cary Institute for Ecosystem studies with Micheal Pace and collaborated with several scientists there including Charles Canham, Nina Caraco and Jonathan Cole. It is at the Cary Institute where she learned to think like an ecosystem scientist!
After a break to have her family (including twins!), Maranger started her lab group in aquatic ecosystem ecology with a focus on ecosystem science and coupled biogeochemical cycles at Université de Montréal. Her work is broad in scope so please see the current research interests section and list of publications.
On top of her internationally recognized research program, Maranger is very active in professional service. She served as the elected President of the Association of the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (2020-2022), a major aquatic scientific society with over 3500 members from around the world. She was active in establishing many Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives for ASLO. As director of the Station de Biologie des Laurentides (2011-2021), Maranger completely transformed operations from and use from negligible to thriving. She is a member of the Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire en Limnologie et environnemental aquatique (GRIL) and served on the board of directors from 2010-2016, helping to establish the joint supervision program. Maranger was active in mobilizing activities around sustainability at UdeM that lead ultimately led to the formation of the CLAD (Contruite l'avenir durablement). Maranger was on the scientific steering committees of Future Earth Coasts (2016-2019), CNRS France (2015-2018), and a Member-at-Large for ASLO (2010-2013) among others. As an implementation team member (2013-2015), Maranger was instrumental in establishing the globally distributed Secretariat for Future Earth, an international sustainability initiative, which builds on the history of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP), International Human Dimensions Program (IHDP) and Diversitas. She is an Art of Hosting Practioner and uses her experience and training in co-design principles in her teaching, research and service
In recognition for her research excellence and devotion through service to the science community, Roxane Maranger was awarded the 2024 Rigler Prize or her sustained contributions in Limnology by the Society of Canadian Aquatic Sciences f, was a 2023 Water Shero, recognized for excellence in aquatic science leadership and in women’s equity Red Dot Foundation of India, and the Consulate General of Canada in Mumbai and received 2022 Michel-Jurdant prize for he r contributions to environmental science by ACFAS (Association francophone pour le savoir).
