How do you imagine the day-to-day life of a member of GREMM\u2019s research team? Hair blowing in the wind, on the water gazing at whales from sunrise to sunset on a warm summer day? That\u2019s our fantasy as well! Rather, our schedule and working conditions are unfortunately at the mercy of the weather, which means we have to be patient, cautious, and in tune with nature. As the singer Renaud put it so well:<\/p>\n

But rest assured, when conditions at sea are unfavourable, there\u2019s always work in the office, which is every bit as important as fieldwork. I am therefore taking advantage of a few hours on a rainy day to give you an overview of the 2021 season and the three main beluga projects keeping us busy this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Alexandre Bernier-Graveline How do you imagine the day-to-day life of a member of GREMM\u2019s research team?
