About Jacques Pucheron
In 2019, Jacques Pucheron led the first real-time sediment toxicity mapping of the Étang de Thau using autonomous micro-samplers he co-designed, revealing how seasonal oyster farming practices inadvertently concentrated microplastic-bound PCBs in benthic layers. His fieldwork isn’t confined to buoys and labs: he spends three months each year living aboard a converted trawler, calibrating hyperspectral drones against in situ benthic surveys while collaborating with artisanal fishers to co-draft adaptive no-take zones. Fluent in Occitan as well as French and English, he insists on translating ecological risk assessments into coastal dialects, not just policy jargon, so that Marseille’s net-menders and Arcachon’s mussel farmers can debate nitrogen thresholds at the quay. His 2023 monograph, 'Sediment Memory', reframes coastal resilience not as engineering control but as layered negotiation between hydrodynamics, microbial metabolism, and intergenerational stewardship.
