Lenaïg Hemery joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2019 and is an research scientist in the Coastal Sciences Division at PNNL-Sequim. Her research focuses on the potential effects of marine energy, offshore wind, and marine carbon dioxide removal on the marine environment, especially benthic habitats.

Lenaig’s research uses an integrative approach that combines fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling to characterize and understand the patterns and processes of marine benthic biodiversity, particularly in relation to human activities at sea.
