Victor Danneyrolles

Victor Danneyrolles is an Associate Member and Research Professor at the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi, specializing in Forest Ecology, Landscape Ecology, and Historical Ecology. His work focuses on understanding forest ecosystem dynamics through the lens of historical patterns, contemporary disturbances, and climate change impacts.

His research interests span Forest Ecology, Landscape Ecology, Historical Ecology, Biogeography, Fire Ecology, and Disturbance Ecology. He applies Remote Sensing techniques to study ecosystem dynamics and develops approaches for Sustainable Forest Management in the context of global environmental change. His work frequently examines how historical baselines can inform current management practices in boreal and temperate forests.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on wildfire dynamics in Canadian boreal forests, with particular attention to historical fire regimes, contemporary fire behavior, and climate change impacts. His research integrates paleoecological perspectives with modern remote sensing techniques to contextualize current disturbance patterns. A significant portion of his work examines how human activities, particularly forestry practices, have transformed forest landscapes over the past century.

As a Graduate Student Advisor, Danneyrolles mentors doctoral candidate Aude Laforest and Master's students Gabriel Davidson-Roy, Mathieu Lacroix, and Lydia Ouellet. His research is conducted under grant funding (PCSO), focusing on understanding forest ecosystem dynamics through historical and contemporary lenses to inform sustainable management practices in the face of climate change.
