Institut national de la recherche scientifique
Rene Lefebvre is Professor in hydrogeology at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (Centre Eau Terre Environnement) in Quebec City. He has degrees in geological engineering, geochemistry and hydrogeology, and expertise on multiphase transfer processes involving geochemical reactions in geological media. He has carried out major regional aquifer assessment projects aiming to improve groundwater management and protection in Canada and abroad. His research also aims to improve aquifer characterization by developing more representative flow and transport numerical models of heterogeneous local or regional systems, notably with the use of cone penetration soundings and surface geophysics.
