Speaker
Dr Txomin Hermosilla
Researcher
Canadian Forest Service
Temporal Dynamics and Forest Succession: National Annual Mapping of Tree Species in Canada using Landsat Time Series from 1984 to 2022
3:30 PM - 3:45 PMBiography
Txomin Hermosilla is a remote sensing research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service. He received his Ph.D. in Cartography and Remote Sensing from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) in 2011. His research focuses on developing methods for mass remotely sensed data processing for mapping and monitoring Canada’s forested ecosystems, including: image compositing, time series analysis, change detection and attribution, land cover and tree species classification, forest age, forest structure and biomass mapping.

Ms Flavie Pelletier
Phd Candidate
McGill University
An early national assessment of the 2024 wildfire season in Canada
4:00 PM - 4:15 PMBiography
Flavie Pelletier is a PhD candidate in the Cardille Computational Landscape Ecology Lab at McGill University. She has a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from the University of British Columbia and completed a dual master's degree at UBC (Master of Forestry) and the University of Freiburg (Master of International Forestry). She joined the Cardille lab in 2021 to combine her interest in remote sensing and forest fires. In her free time, she loves exploring the mountains on foot, on a bike or hanging from a climbing rope.
