Catherine Jeandel is a French geochemical oceanographer known for her research on isotope geochemistry and trace elements in the ocean.
Jeandel grew up in northern Brittany wanting to be an ocean scientist, despite a lack of interest in mathematics.[1] She was a student at the École normale supérieure de Sèvres from 1977 to 1982.[2] Jeandel earned a B.S. and her Ph.D. at the University of Paris VII.[3]
From 1982 until 1983, she was a research associate at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris.[2] She joined the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in 1983. From 1988 until 1990, Jeandel was at the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. She was promoted to research director at the CNRS in 2007.[2]
In 2018, Jeandel was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union who cited her "for fundamental research on the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and for exploiting them as tracers in chemical and paleoceanography".[4]
Research
Jeandel is known for her research on trace elements found in seawater and on marine particles, include investigations into vanadium,[5] chromium,[6] and neodymium.[7][8] She has examined trace elements at multiple locations in the global ocean, include time-series sites such as KERFIX, in the Southern Ocean,[9] and the EUMELI sites in the Atlantic Ocean.[10] A portion of her research examines the role of particles from land that transport trace elements into marine systems[11][12] Jeandel served on the Scientific Steering Committee [13] of the GEOTRACES project, where she focused on the transport of trace elements into the global ocean.[14][15]
