It is the result of a constriction of this river during the construction of W.A.C. Bennett hydroelectric dam, its area is about 1721 km2. In 2012, when the reservoir was heavily filled, floating tr

At Arctus, we are committed to ensuring that our expertise serves the public good. For several years, we have been working with a variety of Canadian public agencies to provide daily ice monitoring during the critical spring thaw period. To achieve this, we rely on a wide range of sensors to deliver the most comprehensive situational awareness possible during critical events. While optical sensors are widely used in public safety applications, they are often limited by cloud

The Nunavik mapping project (Atlas) is a project to map the backshore of the coast, with a focus on identifying sensitive habitats and valuable coastal areas. The work involves mapping land use and land cover across the entire Nunavik coast in northern Quebec, producing datasets that highlight areas that need protection, particularly in the case of a maritime incident such as an oil spill. The mapping was carried out using satellite data and artificial intelligence models to
