Education and career
editCanuel 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
editCanuel'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]
