Education and career

Paris grew up in Carcassonne, France and had an early interests in snorkeling, surfing, and sailing.[1] She has a masters' degree in biochemistry from the University of Bordeaux. She earned her Ph.D. in 2001 from the State University of New York at Stony Brook where she worked on damselfish.[2] In 2008 she moved to the University of Miami where she was promoted to professor in 2017.[3]

From 2021 until 2022, Paris is leading the early life history section of the American Fisheries Society[4]

Research

Paris is known for her research on larval migration and connections between populations of larval fish. She has tracked the movement of larval fish in currents around coral reefs,[5][6] determined how coral reef fish larvae are able to retain their position on a reef,[7][8] and quantified the export of larval fish from marine reserves.[9] Her research has determined the effects of sound on larval fish,[1] discovered that fish larvae make sounds[10] and that fish larvae are attracted by the chemical compound dimethyl sulfide.[11] Her research uses Lagrangian instruments to observe larvae in the water[1] and she has developed a modelling system to track particles in the ocean.[12] She takes advantage of her freediving to conduct experiments without disturbing fish[13] and to place instruments deep in the water.[14][15] The sounds recorded with these instruments can be used for science and in art installations.[16] Following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Paris developed a model that predicted that the oil would form a plume and move southwest for the site where it was exiting the seafloor.[17][18] She also examined organic aerosols downwind of the oil spill[19] and the exposure of fish larvae to oil.[20]

Selected publications

Freediving

Paris is a record-holding competitive freediver, a hobby she began in 2013 after a research project in Belize.[15] She placed fourth in her first competition and has improved to the point of holding United States' national records in freediving events.[13] As of 2021, she is on the United States' national freediving team.[21] In 2015, she set her first national record in the women's dynamic no-fins event (DNF) when she swam 128 meters on one breath.[1][22] In 2018, she set the national record in dynamic apnea with fins (DYN) with a swim of 184 meters on a single breath,[23] which she surpassed in 2019 with a distance of 197 meters.[13] Paris developed a class at the University of Miami on Scientific Freediving[24] which was the first of its kind at the university.[13][14]

Awards and honors

In 2018, Paris was awarded the Rachel Carson lecture by the American Geophysical Union.[25]
