Findings from a National Survey of Canadian perspectives on predicting river channel migration and river bank erosion

River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 1787-1800, December 2024.
Abstract River bank erosion and river channel migration are geomorphic processes that can result in significant hazards when there are impacts to humans or infrastructure. Unlike flooding, there are limited national guidelines in Canada that provide recommendations on how to best assess riverine erosion hazards. Instead regional and local jurisdictions

Ecosystem services of irrigated and controlled drainage agricultural systems: A contemporary global perspective

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1823-1837, November 2024.
Abstract Irrigated agriculture provides 40% of the world's crop‐based foods but often with a negative impact on the environment. It is important to recognize that in addition to providing food and fibre, irrigation and controlled drainage systems can be optimized to provide additional ecosystem services and mitigate climate change by using resources in

Combined use of physically based hydrological model and empirical models to improve parameterisation of erosion processes in a flash flood prone catchment

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 3934-3948, 30 September 2024.
Estimation of erosion during flash floods using the physics‐based model MARINE is compared with two empirical models RUSLE and MUSLE. Simulations with MARINE show that events can be classified into those dominated by raindrop erosion and those dominated by shear stress erosion. The eroded volumes simulated by the three models are comparable, except for

A review of flash‐floods management: From hydrological modeling to crisis management

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract In a context of climate change, flash‐floods are expected to increase in frequency. Considering their devastating impacts, it is primordial to safeguard the exposed population and infrastructure. This is the responsibility of crisis managers but they face difficulties due to the rapidity of these events.

A 30 m Global Flood Inundation Model for Any Climate Scenario

Water Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Global flood mapping has developed rapidly over the past decade, but previous approaches have limited scope, function, and accuracy. These limitations restrict the applicability and fundamental science questions that can be answered with existing model frameworks.

The future of food safety: possible trends for the years 2022‐2032 and their influence on food safety and nutrition

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 3, July 2024.
Abstract Over the next decade, demographic, societal, technological, economic, environmental, and political factors are expected to significantly influence the agri‐food chain. Demographic shifts, characterised by an aging population and sustained migration, along with evolving consumer demands, will drive a greater emphasis on sustainability.

Les géographes du Québec et la question professionnelle : essai d'interprétation sociohistorique, 1945–2000

Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 185-195, Summer / été 2024.
Résumé L'étude de l'histoire contemporaine de la géographie au prisme de la sociologie des professions permet de s'intéresser aux « trajectoires professionnelles », et ce, à titre d'objets. Par l'analyse de documents d'archives, trois périodes ont pu être établies, montrant ainsi les particularités contextuelles des débats entourant la présence des ...
