معرفی
Dr. Pascale Biron is a Professor in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment at Concordia University, Montreal. Her research focuses on river dynamics, stream restoration, flood modeling, and climate change impacts. She has been at Concordia since 1998 and holds professional affiliations with key organizations like the Canadian Geomorphology Research Group and the American Geophysical Union.
- Education: PhD from Université de Montréal and Leeds University (fluvial geomorphology)
Research Interests
Her work integrates fluvial geomorphology, computational fluid dynamics, and societal aspects of river management. Key themes include:
- River restoration for fish habitat
- Floodplain modeling using LiDAR
- Climate adaptation strategies
- Socio-hydrological dimensions of restoration
- Hydrodynamic processes at river confluences
Recent Research Trends
Recent publications emphasize global salmonid habitat analysis, machine learning for fluvial hazard detection, and the socio-environmental impacts of urban flooding. Her work bridges technical hydrology with policy-relevant solutions for sustainable water management.
Grants & Advising
Supervises over 15 graduate students (PhD/MSc) in topics ranging from flood modeling to bioengineering. Active in collaborative projects like the 'Freedom Space for Rivers' initiative and large-scale floodplain mapping.
Labs & Teams
Member of GRIL (Limnology Research Group) and RIISQ (Quebec Flood Network), contributing to interdisciplinary water security research.
