Patrick Louchouarn studies the chemistry of organic matter in coastal and wetland environments, tracing how carbon, pollutants (like mercury and dioxins), and biomass-burning byproducts move through sediments, rivers, and estuaries. His work combines paleoclimate reconstruction (using sediment cores from sinkhole lakes and coastal basins) with environmental pollution studies in places like the Gulf of Mexico, Houston Ship Channel, and Bahamas. This research is relevant to students interested in blue carbon storage, contaminant fate in coastal systems, and using organic molecular markers to reconstruct past climate and human impacts.
Publication output was moderate but irregular over the last decade, peaking around 2017-2018 and slowing to sparse, intermittent output from 2021 onward.
