Beluga algorithms<\/h3>\n

Since the earliest days of his career, Cl\u00e9ment Chion has been combining engineering and ecology. To do so, he specializes in modelling the interaction between humans and the ecosystem. But why whales?<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to the Tadoussac region several times in the early 2000s and fell in love with the area, but beyond that, it\u2019s the chance opportunities and meetings in life that led me to the cetaceans of the St. Lawrence,\u201d recalls Cl\u00e9ment Chion. In 2006, Professor Lael Parrott, a specialist in human-environment systems, was already laying the groundwork for a project to simulate whale movements and maritime traffic when Cl\u00e9ment Chion came on board as part of his PhD at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al\u2019s complex system laboratory.<\/p>\n

A virtual laboratory for the St. Lawrence<\/h4>\n

The 3MTSim simulator (Marine Mammal and Marine Traffic Simulator), resembles a video game if one takes a look at Cl\u00e9ment Chion\u2019s computer, with \u201cwhale points\u201d and \u201cship points\u201d sharing the waters of the Saguenay and St. Lawrence. But what is of interest to the researcher is what lies behind the screen. The researcher develops algorithms to test different scenarios involving marine mammals and the various components of navigation: \u201cIt\u2019s a virtual laboratory that allows me to explore how whale-boat interactions will be affected if we modify parameters such as vessel speed. What effect does it have on marine mammals \u2013 including the beluga \u2013 <\/strong>and on industry operations?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Perfecting the simulator<\/h4>\n

Since an initial version of the 3MTSim simulator was completed in 2012, the understanding of marine mammal issues is improving with each passing year. To reflect this evolution, Cl\u00e9ment Chion has been working since 2014 on a new version that integrates the acoustic dimension. Beginning in the summer of 2018, his team will work on developing an individual-scale model of St. Lawrence beluga movements, as well as perfecting and adding modules representing the various components of shipping and the impacts thereof.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe simulator is not magic: you can\u2019t just press a button and miraculously know what the best decision is for the St. Lawrence,\u201d he notes. The St. Lawrence is a complex system. Even with huge amounts of data, the simulator, like any other model, generates estimates and predictions \u2013 with a certain level of uncertainty \u2013 that can guide managers and stakeholders in their decision-making.<\/p>\n

In 2013, the various evaluations made by the 3MTSim model opened the door to the introduction of voluntary measures (speed reductions, off-limit areas and recommended routes) in sensitive ecological zones of the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":44153,"menu_order":0,"template":"page-single-chercheur.php","class_list":["post-42643","chercheurs","type-chercheurs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCl\u00e9ment Chion - Baleines en direct<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Beluga algorithms Since the earliest days of his career, Cl\u00e9ment Chion has been combining engineering and ecology.
