Permafrost is any soil or rock whose temperature has remained below 0°C for years. In the extreme north of Quebec, it is omnipresent and very thick. At its boreal margin, further south, it appears in the landscape in the form of isolated thin plates, whose thickness is generally less than 10 m....

These digital terrain models (DTM) offer a regional numerical representation of Quebec's relief based on altimetric (altitude) and planimetric (rectangular or geographic) data. They are the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) and Natural...

The numerical canopy model (MNC) is a representation of the altitude of the canopy. This 3D representation of the arboreal vegetation corresponds to the 2015 2D canopy. If necessary, the MNC can be coupled with the [Numerical Surface Model (MNS)] (/city-of-montreal/numeric-surface-model) 2015 in...
