1/ Exciting research alert! Our new paper written by @hedvignenzen explores the potential of #assistedmigration and climate-informed #restoration in mitigating #climatechange impacts on #ecosystems. 🌱🌍



@cflscf
@NRCanesajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… 2/ We used a #forest landscape model to assess the #restoration of western Canadian #boreal forests, severely impacted by #oilsands mining. Our focus? Planting tree populations adapted to future, warmer climates. 🌲🔥 Image

1/10 🌍 Excited to share our latest publication! We've developed a new framework to identify #criticalhabitats for wide-ranging #speciesAtRisk, particularly under the looming challenges of #climatechange.

🔥Les #feuxdeforet cet été au Québec ont été dévastateurs.

Mais jusqu’à quel point le #changementclimatique peut y être associé?
Une nouvelle étude du @WWAttribution à laquelle j’ai participé a quantifié le tout!

Un🧵
1/… Image D’abord, une récapitulation des faits :

Le mois de mai 2023 a été particulièrement sec au Québec. Les indices forêt-météo étaient très élevés.

1/ Salut @CHOIRadioX ! Vos animateurs aiment beaucoup les données! C'est une très bonne nouvelle; c'est LA meilleure façon d'aborder une problématique, chapeau! Voici quelques données additionnelles qui pourraient parfaire votre argumentaire sur les #feuxdeforet au Québec 2/ Des feux, y en à ben des places dans le monde, et c'est normal. Au Canada aussi, on est un pays qui brule pas mal, ca 2 à 2.5Mha par année. Certaines zones brûlent pas mal (centre et ouest du pays), d'autres, pas mal moins (genre, le sud du Québec) ImageImage

Very proud of this team effort "A regional integrated assessment of the impacts of #climatechange and of the potential #adaptation avenues for #Quebec’s #forests" is now published

A (very long) thread. Buckle up!

Tragedy like the #LyttonFire is the very reason why we should talk about the impacts of #climatechange on these events and on #wildfires in Canada. A thread. 1/ 2/
Obviously, #wildfires are strongly linked to #weather/#climate parameters. The warmer, the windier, the drier is the weather, the more fire ignition probabilities and spread

#WildfireFire conducive conditions are likely to get extremely dangerous next week in #Ontario and western #Quebec. A short thread 1/n First, conditions are already very dry, especially in western Quebec. Some rain in the last couple of days has improved the conditions but still, it is dryer than normal following two-months of much below average precipitations in Quebec 2/...

Hey #weather research scientists! We are looking for your expertise! Are you interested in wind/temp profile at night? Are you using or wishing to use doppler on wheel? We could have something to propose to you! #severeweather #aeroecology #DOW 1/n I'm a research scientist in #forest #ecology at the @cflscf (@NRCan). With a high-expertise team, we are looking at the dispersal patterns of the most important pests in eastern North American conifer forests: the #sprucebudworm. 2/
