THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Daniel Houle est biologiste, diplômé de l'Université du Québec à Montréal depuis 1985. En 1988, le même établissement lui décerne un diplôme de maîtrise ès sciences. En 1995, il obtient un diplôme de Philosophiae Doctor de l'Institut national de recherche scientifique - Eau. Depuis 2020, il est à l'emploi d'Environnement et Changement climatique Canada à titre de chercheur. Ses travaux portent sur la fertilité des sols forestiers et les bilans d'éléments nutritifs des bassins versants en relation avec la pollution atmosphérique et les changements climatiques.
