Hydroclimatology

With their extensive experience in the development and application of numerical approaches, including statistical methods and deterministic models, our researchers are developing analytical and decision support tools for various applications.

Our specialized research teams are focusing on both resource availability and environmental issues such as stormwater, drinking water, and water infrastructure; aquatic habitat quality; climate changes; the impacts of climate change on coastal processes; wetlands; and ice cover in bodies of water.

• Develop statistical, numerical, and physical modelling tools, as well as deterministic and stochastic hydrological models.
• Assess and anticipate natural hazards associated with climate change and other anthropogenic impacts (urbanization, agriculture).
• Ensure an adequate supply of quality water (ground and surface water).

• Optimize land use planning for various challenges (hydroelectricity production, drinking or irrigation water supply, mapping of flood zones, and stormwater management in urban and rural areas).
• Conduct laboratory hydraulic studies to assess the impacts of coastal erosion.
• Develop technical approaches to limit the consequences of climate change.
