Elizabeth A. Canuel is a chemical oceanographer known for her work on organic carbon cycling in aquatic environments. She is the Chancellor Professor of Marine Science at the College of William & Mary and is an elected fellow of the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry.

Education and career[edit]

Canuel has a B.S. in Chemistry from Stonehill College (1981) and earned her Ph.D.in Marine Science (1992) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1] Following her Ph.D. she was a postdoctoral researcher at the United States Geological Survey until 1994 when she joined the faculty at the College of William & Mary. She was promoted to professor in 2006, and named Chancellor Professor in 2018.[1]

From 2018 until 2020 Canuel was a program officer at the National Science Foundation, and she returned there in 2021.[2]

Research[edit]

Canuel's early research examined particles in the eastern tropical North Pacific Ocean,[3][4] and lipid biomarkers in particles from North Carolina[5] and San Francisco.[6] She has examined the degradation of organic matter newly-placed on sediments,[7] and anoxia in the Chesapeake Bay.[8] Her research in Chesapeake Bay also considers how the source of organic matter to the bay impacts water quality.[9][10] Canuel's use of stable isotopes extends to examining stable isotope ratios in plants from San Francisco Bay,[11] the use of stable isotopes to track sources of organic matter in estuaries,[12] how climate change will impact carbon cycling at the border between the land and the ocean[13][14] and examining the age of organic matter in estuaries.[15]

Selected publications[edit]

Awards and honors[edit]

Canuel was named a Leopold fellow in 2011.[16][17] She was elected a fellow of the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry in 2016,[18] and was named a sustaining fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography in 2019.[19]
