FORMATION

• Biologiste spécialisée en écologie, diplômée de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) (1983);
• Maîtrise en écologie forestière (1985);
• Doctorat dans la même discipline de l’Université de Montréal (1992).

THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Sylvie est chercheure scientifique au Service canadien des forêts depuis 1993. Elle s'intéresse aux effets des feux de forêts sur la dynamique des peuplements forestiers de la forêt boréale mixte et coniférienne, la succession forestières après feu ainsi qu'à la caractérisation des régimes de feux passés, présents et futurs dans l’est du Canada.

De 2005 à 2013, Sylvie a été membre du comité scientifique chargé d'examiner la limite nordique des forêts attribuables au Québec . Elle a notamment été responsable du sous-comité sur le risque de feu et participé à la rédaction du rapport. Lors du colloque annuel du CEF en 2015, elle a été invitée à faire parti du panel d'experts dans le cadre de la session spéciale « Une évaluation scientifique de la limite nordique des forêts attribuables ».

En 2008 elle termine l'édition du livre « Aménagement écoystémique en forêt boréale»  dont elle a dirigé la rédaction. Il s'agit d'une synthèse des principaux concepts écologiques qui appuient la mise en oeuvre de l'aménagement écosystémique. Un pré-lancement du livre à eu lieu au Carrefour de la recherche forestière 2007 à Québec et le lancement officiel du livre au printemps 2008. Plusieurs membres du CEF ont pris part à la rédaction des chapitres dont Alain Leduc , Daniel Kneeshaw, Hubert Morin, Pierre Drapeau et Yves Bergeron. La collaboration de Marie-Andrée Vaillancourt et Louis de Grandpré ne saurait être passée sous silence.

En 2016, Sylvie était la conférencière principale lors du 10^e Colloque annuel du CEF. En conférence d'ouverture, elle a présenté « De l'aménagement écosystémique à l'adaptation aux changements climatiques en forêt boréale : parcours d'une chercheure gouvernementale  »

Amar et les deux Nicolas!

Elle est professeure associée au département des sciences biologiques de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM ), à la faculté de foresterie de l’Université Laval , au département de sciences appliquées de l’Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT ) et chercheure associée à la Chaire CRSNG-UQAT-UQAM en aménagement forestier durable  . Elle dirige plusieurs étudiants dans leur travaux de maîtrise et de doctorat.
