Professor Pere Masqué

Pere is a Professor in the School of Science.

Background

Pere Masqué joined Edith Cowan University from the Department of Physics and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain). His research focuses on the study of a variety of key, global environmental processes in both the present day and geologic past, using a suite of stable and radioactive tracers as novel proxies. These include the Ocean’s role in global climate change as a source or sink of atmospheric CO2; the impact of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) on nutrient and trace metal biogeochemistry in the ocean; and the reconstruction of the historical patterns of climate, pollution and other natural and anthropogenically-driven processes. Current working areas include the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea, coastal ecosystems worldwide, and high mountain lakes and rivers.

Research Areas and Interests

Pere’s main research focusses on the use of radioactive isotopes of tracers of a number of processes in the environment, such as:

  • The impact of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) on nutrient and trace metal biogeochemistry of coastal and open ocean regimes.
  • The Ocean’s role in global climate change as a source or sink of atmospheric CO2
  • The capacity of coastal ecosystems (i.e. seagrass meadows) for storing carbon at different time scales and their significance to mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions (Blue Carbon)
  • Arctic Ocean: the impact of the declining of sea-ice in the biogeochemical cycles and water masses circulation.
  • Reconstruction of the historical patterns of climate, pollution and other natural and anthropogenically-driven processes
  • Past ocean circulation and productivity rates and their role in controlling paleoclimate, particularly during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene.
  • Radiological impacts of radioactive materials in the environment

Qualifications

  • Doctor of Physics, Spain, 2000.
