Modelling the risk of ice jams in southern Quebec in the context of climate change
This project will develop a predictive model of the risk of ice jams for a representative sample of southern Quebec watersheds in the context of climate change.
Adaptation and resilience: Using GBA+ to understand and address the new challenges of homelessness in the face of climate change in Quebec
This project aims to support the implementation of targeted climate adaptation strategies for populations experiencing homelessness, based on gender-based analysis with an intersectional approach (GBA+) and participatory action research methods.
Collaborative governance in Outaouais: Living lab-based action research on the co-production of climate change adaptation strategies and administrative leadership
This project is a real-life case study on participatory governance being used in municipal settings to address climate change challenges at a regional scale. The goal is to have public, community and private organizations and residents coordinate their adaptation efforts.
Identifying high-priority compound climate events in Quebec: An exploratory study
This project has highlighted combined climate events that should be prioritized in Quebec by targeting the information needs related to these events.
Complexity and climate resilience: Preparing civil protection officials for the cascading effects of critical systems failure
This project aims to deepen knowledge of the complexity associated with cascading failures of critical systems to improve understanding and enable better decision-making on this subject.
Tracking adaptation progress in the Canadian electricity sector
This project will contribute to advance methods and metrics for adaptation monitoring and evaluation in critical infrastructure sectors.
Nothing about us without us: Implementing climate change adaptation for disability in the Montréal metropolitan area
The goal of this project is to promote the implementation of disability-inclusive climate change adaptation in the Montréal metropolitan area. It also aims to understand the influence of social, institutional, physical and economic barriers on the climate vulnerability of people with disabilities.
Simulation of water temperature at the watershed scale with HYDROTEL and long short-term memory networks (LSTMs)
This project aims to implement a new thermal simulation module in the PHYSITEL-HYDROTEL hydrological platform, as well as an LSTM deep learning model, to simulate the temperature of rivers in southern Quebec for a future edition of the Hydroclimatic Atlas of Southern Québec.
Economic analyses of forest fire adaptation measures for Quebec
This project will provide an analysis of the economic impacts of forest fires in the context of climate change in Quebec. It will also analyze the cost effectiveness of adaptation solutions to enable informed decision-making.
Assessing the added value of convection-permitting climate models in simulating flooding in southern Quebec watersheds
This project aims to answer the following question : Does the improved simulation of precipitation extremes with the new generation of regional climate models with 2.5 km resolution lead to an improvement in flooding simulations by a hydrological model in southern Quebec?
