CRMR members at the heart of forestry innovation at SilviLaser 2025!
This week (from September 29 to October 3, 2025), the Québec City Convention Centre hosted SilviLaser 2025, a key gathering for researchers, academics, and industry professionals. The event showcased the latest advances in LiDAR remote sensing as well as other innovative technologies applied to the assessment and management of forest ecosystems.
Organized by Alexis Achim (Université Laval) and Nicholas Coops (University of British Columbia), the conference presented major scientific breakthroughs and practical applications for the sustainable assessment and management of forest ecosystems.
Several members of the CRMRÂ actively participated in SilviLaser 2025, contributing across a wide range of topics:
-
Scientific presentations on the use of LiDAR for forest mapping and ecological modeling.
-
Sharing expertise on integrating digital technologies into sustainable forest management.
-
International collaborations promoting knowledge and innovation transfer between researchers and industry partners.
Among the CRMR’s notable contributions was the presentation by Professor Alexandre Morin‑Bernard titled: Modeling Forest Growth and Dynamics with Multi‑Temporal LiDAR (in collaboration with Scott Pokswinski), as well as the innovative research led by David Voyer (postdoctoral fellow) and his collaborators, which uses LiDAR data to better understand and address the decline of sugar maple at the northern limit of its distribution.
The CRMR warmly thanks its members for their dedication, expertise, and valuable contributions to this conference. Their participation perfectly reflects our mission: to promote innovation and collaboration in building a sustainable future for forest ecosystems.
