Importance of the height of riparian vegetation for thermal regimes of Atlantic salmon rivers to strategically inform restoration decisions.
February 3, 2025 - Description: The project proposes to model the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of salmon rivers as a function of basin topography, riparian vegetation characteristics, local stream reach orientation,...

Development and implementation of a modelling tool to investigate how freshwater ecosystems (e.g. temperature, hydrology, land-use practices) influence wild Atlantic salmon populations
June 1, 2022 - Over the last 30 years, Atlantic salmon abundance has generally decreased. Mortalities at sea are known to be an important factor contributing to this decline. However, adverse freshwater habitat conditions...
