From rain to groundwater: Refining recharge modelling at the regional scale
This project aims to develop existing modelling tools to better represent the spatio-temporal variability of recharge in wet, cold climates like that of southern Quebec.
Communications on climate change adaptation: The case of the Ville de Montréal’s heat wave campaign for seniors
This project aims to evaluate the heat wave awareness campaign by the municipal government of Montréal targeting seniors who are vulnerable to heat, in order to determine its ability to reach them and to encourage them to follow the recommended adaptation behaviours.
Mapping of sections of watercourses whose migration is sensitive to the flow changes anticipated due to climate change
The aim of the project is to develop a method for identifying sections of watercourses whose migration is sensitive to climate change.
Improved calculation of the Hydroclimatic Atlas indicators
The aim of this project is to standardize and improve the methodology for calculating the hydroclimatic indicators in the Hydroclimatic Atlas of Southern Québec.
The contribution of hydraulic modelling to estimated flows in the extrapolated portions of rating curves and evaluation of the uncertainties
The purpose of this project is to estimate the uncertainties in the flows estimated using rating curves at hydrometric stations in Quebec.
Extreme rain and the resilience of public transit in Montréal: What adaptation measures should be taken to make the transit system flood-resilient and how should the responsibility be shared?
This project aims to improve the understanding of the Montréal public transit system’s vulnerability and exposure to extreme rainfall. It will also help identify adaptation solutions and tools supporting collaborative infrastructure governance.
Experimentation on a prospective approach to accelerating transformational adaptation to climate change
This project aims to study the benefits of a prospective, collaborative approach within two supramunicipal bodies in Quebec that are engaged in a collective adaptation process, to see if it can promote broad-based engagement in a more transformational, systemic kind of adaptation.
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.
