FORMATION

• Ph.D. en écologie forestière, 1997 (Université de la Colombie-Britannique)
• M.Sc. en informatique, 1986 (Simon Fraser University)
• B.Sc. en informatique, 1981 (Université d'Alberta)

Titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en modélisation des écosystèmes boréaux de 2006 à 2016.

THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Mes activités de recherche englobent l’analyse spatiale et la modélisation des processus écologiques. Je m’intéresse depuis longtemps à la modélisation de la dynamique des peuplements forestiers et tout particulièrement à l’étude des perturbations par le feu dans les forêts boréales. Au cours des dernières années, je me suis joint au Boreal Avian Modelling Project, où j’applique mon expertise en modélisation au développement de modèles statistiques en vue de prédire la distribution et l’abondance de la faune aviaire.

RÉALISATIONS RÉCENTES

Mes collaborateurs et moi avons développé de nouvelles méthodes de modélisation écologique et spatiale qui peuvent être appliquées aussi bien à l’étude de processus naturels (par exemple, les feux de forêt) que de processus anthropiques (par exemple, l’aménagement forestier). Nous avons en outre démontré que nos modèles pouvaient s’appliquer à l’échelle régionale. Les travaux en cours incluent le développement d’un modèle dynamique adapté à la forêt boréale québécoise. Dans le cadre du Boreal Avian Modelling Project, nous avons mis en place des outils méthodologiques permettant l’élaboration de modèles pour près de 100 espèces d’oiseaux et travaillons présentement au développement de modèles pour la sauvagine.
