Just wrapped up an inspiring week at SilviLaser 2025.
It was a real pleasure to attend, and an honor to deliver the keynote.

Conferences like Silvilaser remind me why I love working in forestry and remote sensing - not just for the science, but also for the people.

La télédétection laser pour identifier les érablières nordiques en difficulté

Cette approche permettrait de repérer plus efficacement les peuplements d'érables à sucre qui éprouvent des problèmes de croissance à la limite nord de la distribution de cette espèce
