Biography

Professor Monique Leclerc is a native of Canada where she did all her undergraduate and graduate education. Upon graduating from the University of Guelph in 1987, she became an Assistant Professor in the Dept of Plants, Soils and Biometeorology where she collaborated with ecologists and with hydrologists at Utah State. She held for six months a dual appointment with an invitation from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. Three years after receiving her doctorate degree, she was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor hired in the Dept. of Physics of the University of Quebec at Montreal where she served simultaneously in numerous centers on environmental issues and on climate change and departments as adjuncts. She served as President-Elect of the International Society of Biometeorology.

Professor Leclerc has received numerous national awards and has served on over two dozens of international scientific committees and national committees related to surface-atmosphere exchange of gases, turbulence, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, carbon cycle. She has lectured at Harvard, Yale, Oxford University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory home to 13 Nobel prizes, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Oakridge National Laboratory. She has served on numerous panels evaluating the climate change program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, served on the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), served on the European Research Commission Council, served on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as expert on tropical peat, served on the European ICOS (International Carbon Observatory) for Sweden, served on INTAS, the European research program fostering research collaboration between Eastern Europe and Western Europe, served on the US. Dept. of Energy panels for Terrestrial Ecosystem Science, on the National Science Foundation panels (Div. Environmental Biology), and on the US. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) in their in-house science national program on greenhouse gas emissions. She has served as an expert for the Environmental Protection Agency on the evaluation of proposed CO2 emission factor of greenhouse gas emissions from oil palm plantations grown on tropical peat.

In 2014, Professor Leclerc published a book with her German colleague Prof. Dr. Thomas Foken published by Springer: ' Atmospheric Footprints: A Handbook for Micrometeorologists and Ecologists'.

Throughout her career, Professor Leclerc has published over 150 publications and has a high Hirsch citation index.
