Invitation to the Conference by Alexandre Morin-Bernard: Rethinking the Forest Inventory Cycle
We are pleased to invite you to the conference by Alexandre Morin-Bernard, professor in the Department of Wood and Forest Sciences and member of the Renewable Materials Research Centre (CRMR), as well as the Centre for Forest Research (CEF).
Conference title: Rethinking the Forest Inventory Cycle: Better Mapping Forest Conditions and Understanding Growth Trajectories
Date and location (in person): Tuesday, June 2, in rooms 2320–2330 of the Gene-H.-Kruger Pavilion.
Decisions in forest management rely on our ability to accurately understand the current state of forests, as well as to anticipate growth trajectories and vulnerabilities in a context of uncertainty. Forest inventories must therefore provide reliable, spatially explicit information that is updated over time. This presentation will demonstrate how LiDAR and time series of satellite imagery can help rethink the forest inventory cycle by linking sampling design, ecoforestry map production, and the monitoring of growth trajectories in relation to management practices and climate stressors.
This conference is presented by the Centre for Research on Renewable Materials (CRMR), in collaboration with the Centre for Forest Research (CEF).
We look forward to welcoming you in large numbers!

Speaker Biography
Alexandre Morin-Bernard is an assistant professor at Université Laval. His work focuses on forest inventory, forest dynamics, and remote sensing. It combines field observations, including dendrochronological series, with multisource remote sensing data to characterize forest ecosystems and better understand changes in their structure, condition, and growth over time.
He is particularly interested in forest productivity and growth responses to climate variability and silvicultural practices. His research aims to develop integrated approaches to support decision-making in forest management and silviculture.
