Note that topographic maps at a scale of 1/20,000 are no longer updated. For the latest update date, see the [metadata] (ftp://transfert.mern.gouv.qc.ca/public/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/BDTQ/Metadonnees_Topo-20K.xls).

Being eager to participate in the adaptation of agricultural businesses in a context of climate change, MAPAQ commissioned the conduct of a study to better identify the current and future challenges of water management. The mandate involved drawing up a portrait of the water needs at the regional...

The SiIGsol-100m maps make it possible to document the spatial evolution of the properties of the mineral part of the soil at a spatial resolution of 100 m. These values were simulated by combining point observation data and spatially explicit covariates, derived from remote sensing data, using...

The ecological classification of Quebec territory consists of mapping and describing ecological units in a system with nine levels of perception between the continental and landscape scales. It presents the diversity of terrestrial ecosystems in all of Quebec taking into account both the...

This theme represents the limit of the Quebec territory of the Agreement on Sustainable Water Resources of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Basin. It was generated from the grouping of watersheds at a cartographic scale of 1:20,000. For more information:...

The orthophotographs used to produce this mosaic are acquired by aerial overview in order to meet the needs of the Southern Quebec Ecoforest Inventory (IEQM). These images serve, among other things, to feed the process of photo-interpretation and production of the ecoforest map essential for...

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 deposit may have been established during the retreat of the glacier at the end of the last glaciation or by other...

TOPEX (acronym which means “topographical exposure”) is an index of topographic exposure. It reflects the influence of local topography on the degree of exposure to wind and on its behavior (Ruel et al. 2002). TOPEX data are presented in the form of a matrix file (raster) whose spatial resolution...
