This project puts forward a technique for parametric post-treatment of extreme precipitation in climate models by operationalizing work already underway at Ouranos and Polytechnique Montréal.
This project aims to assess the main issues related to floodplain mapping as well as to support the application of knowledge, facilitate widespread understanding and use of the mapping carried out by INFO-Crue.
This project will allow the development of a territorial decision support tool that can eventually be applied to the entire Quebec territory. It will also contribute to increasing the protection and resilience of communities.
The results of this project will produce a better estimate of flood risks and, consequently, better mapping of flood zones for regions where water levels in the receiving environment have a significant impact on flood risks.
This project will, among other things, determine benchmarks for the implementation of spatialized flood hazard education in high school curricula in Quebec.
This project facilitates, among other things, the identification of sources of uncertainty associated with traditional water surface profile measurements using real-time kinematic positioning (GNSS-RTK).
The results of the research project will be used by the hydrologic expertise unit to improve the estimation of river flows in Quebec.
Comprehensive knowledge of an area will be made available to the people and organizations concerned, allowing them to plan emergency measures and land use with a view to adapting to climate change.
Public safety officials, hydrological system managers and hydroclimatology researchers will be able to better assess the impacts of climate change on water resources based on changes in vegetation cover.
Data collected in a participatory manner can be fed into models in order to define the flood zones and the alert levels for populations and infrastructure, in particular for the rivers where more traditional data collection is not possible.
