Overview

Pierre Marmonier is affiliated with Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 in France. Their research focuses primarily on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with notable contributions to subfields such as ecology, paleontology, environmental chemistry, water science and technology, and earth-surface processes.

Key research topics in their work include:

  • Subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy
  • Environmental DNA in biodiversity studies
  • Aquatic invertebrate ecology and behavior
  • Soil and water nutrient dynamics
  • Hydrology and sediment transport processes
  • Hydrology and watershed management studies
  • Aquatic ecosystems and phytoplankton dynamics

Marmonier has coauthored works with a group of frequently collaborating researchers, including Diana M. P. Galassi, Marie-José Dole-Olivier, Florian Mermillod-Blondin, Michel Creuzé des Châtelliers, and M. Lafont.

Their recent publications demonstrate a focus on aquatic environments and biodiversity, with papers published in a range of scientific journals. Selected recent papers include:

  • Drivers of functional diversity in the hyporheic zone of a large river (2022), The Science of The Total Environment
  • Are surface water characteristics efficient to locate hyporheic biodiversity hotspots? (2020), The Science of The Total Environment
  • Interactions between microbial activity and bioturbation modes of benthic invertebrates determine nutrient releases from reservoir sediments (2022), Freshwater Biology
  • Bottom-up processes control benthic macroinvertebrate communities and food web structure of fishless artificial wetlands (2020), Aquatic Ecology
  • Scale-dependent effects of vegetation on flow velocity and biogeochemical conditions in aquatic systems (2022), The Science of The Total Environment

Marmonier frequently publishes in journals such as The Science of The Total Environment, River Research and Applications, Freshwater Biology, Aquatic Ecology, and Diversity.
