A la mise en eau du réservoir, l’écosystème d’eaux courantes actuel sera remplacé, sur un linéaire d’environ 30 km, par un écosystème lacustre. Du fait de la profondeur, on peut s’attendre à une retenue stratifiée pendant une grande partie de l’année avec un hypolimnion anoxique occupant en fin de saison sèche la majeure partie de la colonne d’eau. Au bout de quelques années, la qualité des eaux dans la retenue devrait cependant s’améliorer au fur et à mesure de la décomposition complète de la biomasse ennoyée. | Translation - English
When the reservoir is filled, the current running water ecosystem will be replaced by a lake ecosystem, over a distance of 30 km. Due to its depth, it can be expected that the reservoir will be subject to stratification for the greater part of the year with an anoxic hypolimnion taking up, at the end of the dry season, the greater part of the water cross-section. After several years, the water quality at the reservoir should however improve as the submerged biomass slowly decomposes in its entirety. | French to English: Vinyl Release

La productivité primaire, constituée de phytoplancton dans l’épilimnion et de périphyton sur la végétation immergée, sera relativement importante dans les premières années qui suivront la mise en eau. Elle devrait se stabiliser ensuite à un niveau assez bas, les apports à la retenue étant peu chargés en sels nutritifs. Notons par ailleurs qu’un risque d’invasion du plan d’eau par les macrophytes flottants, suite à leur introduction accidentelle, n’est pas à écarter. | Translation - English
Primary productivity, made up of phytoplankton in the epilimnion and of periphyton in the submerged vegetation, will be relatively extensive in the first few years that follow filling. This should then stabilise at a relatively low level, the natural inflows at the reservoir being low in nutrient salts. It should be noted, moreover, that the risk of the reservoir being invaded by floating macrophytes, subsequent to their accidental introduction, cannot be excluded.

CAREER OVERVIEW
I produce accurate and coherent translations of a wide range of subjects, including scientific, legal and technical.
My expertise as a translator today is rooted in the study of classical and theological languages. As a graduate of Oxford University I offer rigorous linguistic discipline combined with the highest standards of independent research.
To this unique academic training I bring eight years’ experience of a contemporary language and culture gained through a variety of professional positions held in France: Translator, English teacher and Guide/Interpreter for the tourist industry (France/Italy).
Previous to this I had worked as a full time fine artist specialising in etching, an exacting art which I continue to practise alongside my work as a linguist (see www.cartebluna.co.uk).
I am returning to translation after a career break to raise a family and am looking to further my experience in my chosen specialised and working fields. All projects welcome!
