Landslides in Sensitive Clays
This book gathers the most recent scientific research on the geological, geotechnical and geophysical aspects of slope failure in sensitive clays. Gathering contributions by international experts, it focuses on understanding the complete and practical spectrum of challenges presented by landslides in such complex materials. Based on sound and validated research results, the book also presents several recommendations that could be implemented in the guidelines or code-of-practice. These recommendations cover topics including the characterization and behavior of sensitive clays; the pre-failure, failure and post-failure stages of sensitive clays; mapping and identification methods; climate cha...

Le Québec économique 8. Le développement durable à l'ère des changements climatiques
Alors que la vaste majorité des études scientifiques insistent sur l’importance d’agir pour lutter contre les changements climatiques, il devient essentiel d’adopter des politiques publiques innovantes favorisant le développement durable. Les politiques publiques doivent aujourd’hui s’appuyer sur une conception du développement économique s’inscrivant dans une perspective à long terme et tenant compte des contraintes environnementales et sociales. Le Québec peut déjà se targuer de faire bonne figure en la matière, dans le contexte nord-américain. Il fait partie du marché du carbone, qui vise la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, et peut compter sur un...

Sustainable Energy Transitions in Canada
Canadian energy systems need to evolve. Beyond providing essential energy services, they must respond to climate change, enhance social justice, and remain sensitive to local cultures and traditions. Can they do this and still make financial sense? Sustainable Energy Transitions in Canada gathers experts from across the country to share perspectives on leading theories and practices. Contributors first deal with the conceptual aspects of energy transitions, investigating such topics as energy justice and poverty, the decolonization of energy, community energy planning, the role of energy systems modelling, and links between energy and climate change policy. Building on this foundation, they offer case studies that cover the North, the Atlantic region, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, along with crucial but difficult to decarbonize sectors like transportation and space heating. Running throughout this comprehensive discussion is a common thread: the importance of paying attention to wider sustainability goals and distributional justice in the process of decarbonizing the Canadian economy.
Le Québec économique 06 : Le défi des infrastructures
Les organisations internationales sont formelles : tous les pays doivent investir davantage dans les infrastructures. L'objectif est de développer et d'entretenir un réseau d'infrastructures de pointe pour soutenir la croissance économique. Pour les pays développés, il s'agit surtout de pallier le vieillissement d'infrastructures parfois plus que centenaires. Au Québec, ce défi est particulièrement aigu en raison de la réfection simultanée de nombreuses infrastructures construites dans les années 1960 et 1970. Ce sixième tome de la série Le Québec économique traite en profondeur les différentes facettes du défi des infrastructures dans le contexte d'une économie québécoise en faible croissance. Après avoir dressé un état des lieux de l'économie et du parc d'infrastructures québécoises, l'ouvrage aborde les effets économiques et le financement des infrastructures, l'entretien et la prévention, les marchés publics de la construction, ainsi que les infrastructures technologiques.
