Pierre Hélaouët is a senior numerical ecologist in the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) team as well a data scientist at the Marine Biological Association (MBA). His research focuses on developing and using ecological concepts, statistical analysis, and associated data processing pipelines to explain spatio-temporal variability in planktonic communities. Specialised in marine ecosystems, he has published papers dealing with ecological niche concepts, mesoscale ecology, spatial and temporal dynamics, and trophic interactions.
He lead the iCPR project (2020-2023), which aimed at enhancing the existing CPR platform by integrating innovative technologies within the most geographically extensive marine biological survey in the world. The iCPR program contributes to the development of AI enabled biological observing systems through the creation of an autonomous platform gathering in situ images alongside biological material. Pierre is now co-ordinating the deployment of newly developed iCPR samplers within the CPR survey as well as the development of new research concepts and associated data products.
