Lauriane Dinis holds a PhD in environmental isotope geochemistry from the Institut national de recherche scientifique - Centre Eau Terre Environnement (INRS), and her expertise covers environmental geochemistry, hydrogeochemistry, dendrogeochemistry, as well as zinc, lead, carbon and oxygen isotope analysis. At the GSC, she oversees cumulative effects projects in the Environmental Geosciences program and leads the team responsible for science-policy integration. She also co-manages the Pôle géoscientifique de Québec (PGQ), a unique partnership between INRS and the GSC aimed at developing knowledge in regional geology, georesources and environmental geosciences.

« Integrating environmental geosciences into health issues means transforming knowledge into responsible action to better prevent the impacts of contaminants. My goal: at the interface between science and politics, I am committed to supporting informed decision-making based on evidence, scientific rigor and the collective interest. »
Project management underway in Rouyn-Noranda
A century of activity in Abitibi: spatio-temporal evolution of atmospheric emissions of metals into the environment.
The aim of this research project is to characterize the spatio-temporal distribution and mobility in the environment of emerging metals (including rare earths) associated with the production and recycling of electronic devices at the Horne smelter over the last few decades. To achieve this, several natural archives will be used, such as lake sediments, peat bogs and tree rings. Understanding the interactions, dynamics and role of these complementary archives in the storage of anthropogenic emissions will, among other things, determine their vulnerability in the event of major remobilization caused by the intensification and frequency of natural hazards.
