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.
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.
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?
Unifed IT infrastructure for the production of the Hydroclimatic Atlas (INPACT project)
Once completed, this project will provide a robust research tool for investigating various questions related to hydrology and climate change in Quebec. It will also offer a way for the hydrological modelling community in Quebec to work together and discuss new developments in the field.
Assessment of the Impact of Land Use Change on Climate – Phase 2
Many climate change adaptation and mitigation measures involve changes in land use, including urban planning, agricultural practices, the planting of trees or crops for bioenergy or carbon capture, and the restoration of natural ecosystems.
Assessing the performance and uniqueness of hydrological simulations produced by a heterogeneous climate ensemble and recommending a weighting scheme for this ensemble to meet the needs of the INFO-Crue project
This project has advanced our understanding of how hydrological simulations in this type of ensemble must be combined to maximize the information contained in these projections.
Spatial assessment of the risk of consumption of contaminated (drinking) water during floods
This interdisciplinary project analyzed the challenges of residential groundwater contamination during flood events, drawing on both environmental and social approaches.
