My name is Christelle Hyacinthe. I am a Research Professional in the Joye Research Group since November 2023. I am specializing in geochemistry, with a strong focus on marine systems and their biogeochemical dynamics. My work explores the chemical interactions and transformations within marine environments, aiming to understand how these systems respond to natural processes and anthropogenic influences. I am particularly interested in understanding the impacts of varying environmental conditions on biogeochemical processes. My research is driven by a passion for uncovering the fundamental mechanisms that govern marine chemistry and addressing the pressing environmental challenges facing our oceans today.

My name is Ryan Sibert and I'm a Research Scientist in the Joye Research Group. My research explores the anaerobic biogeochemistry of freshwater lakes, marine sediments, hydrothermal vents, and brines, with a particular focus on the interactions between microbial hydrocarbon oxidation (e.g. methane, naphthalene and hexadecane), and elemental cycling (e.g. S and Fe). My current research explores the impact of microbial methane cycling on the long-term sequestration of carbon (i.e. "Blue Carbon") in coastal ecosystems. I am keenly interested in marine technology and instrumentations and the application of marine technology to advance ocean discovery.
