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 is possible. Maranger did her B.Sc. at McGill University in Montreal, in Biology with a minor in Dramatic Arts. Not knowing whether she should continue in the fine arts or the sciences, the water called. 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 in aquatic ecosystem ecology with a focus on the biogeochemical cycling of N and C at Université de Montréal. See current research interests section.
Maranger is very active in professional service. She is currently the president-elect of the Association of the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), with over 4500 members from around the world and it the director of the Station de Biologie des Laurentides. She is also currently on the scientific steering committees of Future Earth Coasts and CESAB. 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. Maranger played a key role in establishing the Institut de l’Environnment, Développement Durable et Économie Circulaire (EDDEC), a joint institute between UdeM, École Polytechnique and HEC, as a co-founding and scientific steering committee member (2013-2015). She was a Member-at-Large for ASLO from 2010-2013), and an appointed international scientific steering committee member to the CNRS from 2015-2018. Maranger also played an instrumental role in setting up the globally distributed Secretariat for Future Earth as an Implementation team member (2013-2015). Future Earth a new international sustainability initiative, which builds on the history of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP), International Human Dimensions Program (IHDP) and Diversitas.
