This 45-credit research master's program trains specialists in forest ecosystem ecology for doctoral study or professional roles involving the detection, analysis, and resolution of problems in forest ecosystem management. Core activity areas include forest, agricultural, and restoration ecology. The 15-credit core curriculum covers introduction to research in natural sciences, a research proposal, analysis and modeling of ecological data, community engagement, and scientific communication, culminating in a 30-credit research thesis (memoire); six additional credits are chosen as electives from courses such as dendroecology, complex-data analysis, plant-biomass transformation processes, and geographic information systems.
