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 the biogeochemical cycling of N and C at Université de Montréal.  See current research interests section.
 
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. 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.

In recognition for her research excellence and devotion through service to the science community, Roxane Maranger was awarded the 2022 Michel-Jurdant prize for environmentas science by ACFAS.
