Ecoterritories of the Montreal agglomeration

This file contains polygons delimiting ecoterritories. The City of Montreal identified 10 sectors, called ecoterritories, where the protection and enhancement of the natural spaces located there were deemed to be a priority. These are vast territories of more than 15 hectares, bringing together existing protected areas (large parks, nature reserves, etc.), urbanized areas as well as natural areas that still need to be protected and developed. Ecoterritories were established by the Policy for the Protection and Development of Natural Environments (City of Montreal, 2004), which are recognized in the Montreal Urban Plan.

Ecoterritories are facilities of collective interest, defined in article 37 of the Urban Agglomeration Decree (1229-2005, 8 December 2005) (“Decree”) and its annex. This update of the ecoterritories follows the adoption of the Regulations Amending the Schedule to the Decree.

Note that these changes will only be visible in the Urban and Development Plan of the Agglomération de Montréal during a future update.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Digital surface model (MNS)

An accurate representation of the relief is essential for a large number of land management applications. Digital terrain models (DTM) and digital surface models (MNS) are simplified representations of ground altimetry.

The MNT is a representation of the altitude of “bare ground” without infrastructure, while the MNS reproduces the shape of the Earth's surface by including all the permanent and visible elements of the landscape such as the ground and buildings.

It is possible to add vegetation by including the [Numerical Canopy Model (MNC)] (/city-of-montreal/model-numerique-de-canopee-mnc).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Counting vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians at intersections equipped with traffic lights

Counts of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians at the majority of intersections equipped with traffic lights, as well as some intersections where the installation of lights was under consideration. For each of these intersections, all located in the 19 boroughs, the number of vehicles and pedestrians was recorded at different times of a typical day. Counts may sometimes not take into account certain users (pedestrians, cyclists, trucks for example). NOTE: since 2009, the surveys also include the passage of cyclists.

The counts were carried out as part of the harmonization of fires. These are therefore counts from the central services and they do not include the counts made by the boroughs.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Vulnerability to climate change

Polygons representing areas vulnerable to heavy rains, heat waves, destructive storms, droughts, and floods. Vulnerability corresponds to the propensity or predisposition of a system (community, infrastructure and natural environment) to suffer damage caused by the manifestation of a climatic hazard. It varies according to the nature, extent and pace of the evolution of the event as well as the variation in the climate to which the system is exposed, the sensitivity of this system and its capacity to adapt.

The [Climate Plan 2020-2030] (https://portail-m4s.s3.montreal.ca/pdf/Plan_climat%2020-16-16-VF4_VDM.pdf) aims, among other things, to improve urban planning and regulatory tools. Montréal has thus committed to updating the climate change vulnerability analysis, including the heat island map, produced as part of the 2015-2020 Agglomération de Montréal Climate Change Adaptation Plan and to integrating it into the next urban and mobility plan. In addition, in order to take stock of the evolution of the Climate Plan, the City of Montreal annually publishes an [accountability report] (https://montreal.ca/articles/plan-climat-montreal-objectif-carboneutralite-dici-2050-7613) of its 46 actions as well as its eight indicators, including the state of the various climate hazards illustrated by vulnerability maps. 

The data can also be consulted on the [interactive map of vulnerabilities to climate hazards in the Montreal agglomeration] (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/944e0b7104bd491591ccca829da24670/page/Page/).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Quebec groundwater monitoring network

The Quebec groundwater monitoring network, which has more than 270 observation wells located in all regions of Quebec, aims to collect data to assess the effect of climate change on groundwater levels. Some observation wells were active as early as 1969, but most of the network was developed under the 2006-2012 Climate Change Action Plan and the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan. 

Each point indicates the location of an observation well. The data collected and the information available are the physical description of the well, the measurements of the water level and temperature presented in tables and graphs, and the results of chemical analysis of the water. Based on this data, a bulletin on the state of the aquifers south of the St. Lawrence River is published on the Department's website, on the page of the Quebec groundwater monitoring network, at the link below.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Geothermal Radiogenic Heat Production

Background:

More than 80% of the heat produced in the Earth's crust comes from granitoid rocks. When granitoid rocks form they naturally concentrate radioactive elements such as U, Th, and K, and the radiogenic decay of these elements is an exothermic reaction. The radioactive decay of these elements within a granitoid body may generate local heat anomalies and elevated geothermal gradient at relatively shallow crustal levels. In combination with other local rock properties (e.g, porosity, permeability, thermal conductivity), radiogenic heat has the potential to generate a geothermal resource. The decay of radioactive elements converts mass into radiation energy, which in turn gets converted to heat. While all naturally radioactive isotopes generate some heat, significant heat generation only occurs from the decay of 238 U ,235 U ,232 Th and 40 K. Therefore, potential heat production is governed by the concentrations of U ,Th and K in the rock. In igneous rocks, radiogenic heat production is dependent on the bulk chemistry of the rock and decreases from acidic (e.g. granite) through basic to ultra basic rock types. Therefore, granites with anomalously high concentrations of U ,Th and K are targets for calculating potential radiogenic heat production. Potential radiogenic heat production (A)from plutonic rocks can be calculated using this equation:

A (\\u03BCW/m 3 )=10 -5 \\u1D29 (9.52c u +2.56c K +3.48c Th )

where "c" is the concentration of radioactive elements "U" and "Th" in ppm, and "K" in %; and "\\u1D29" is the rock density. Heat production constants of the natural radio-elements U, Th, K are 9.525x10 -5 , 2.561x10 -5 and 3.477x10 -9 W/kg, respectively.

Data and Methods:

Geochemical data from \~1760 samples of plutonic rocks from Yukon are used to calculate potential heat production. The calculated values for radiogenic heat production (A) are plotted over the mapped distribution of Paleozoic and younger plutonic rocks and major crustal faults are also shown for reference.

Glacial limits - 1M

Yukon Territory has been glaciated by Cordilleran and montane glaciers at various times throughout the Pleistocene, as well as by continental ice, the Laurentine Ice Sheet in the Late Pleistocene. Throughout the Late Cenozoic, each successive glaciation appears to have been less extensive than the previous one. In west-central Yukon the earliest glaciation occurred between 2.6 and 2.9 Ma. ago (Duk-Rodkin and Barendregt, 1997). This glaciation was the most extensive and formed a continuous carapace of ice covering all the mountain ranges, except for a small area of Dawson Range and a more extensive area in northern Yukon. The Mid Pleistocene Cordilleran glaciation was less extensive than older glaciations but it formed an extensive ice sheet covering most of the northern Cordillera. The Late Pleistocene glaciation was the most restrictive and formed a continuous carapace of ice from the continental divide to the Saint Elias Mountains, but only restricted ice caps formed on the Ogilvie Mountains. During the last glaciation, the Laurentide Ice Sheet, flowing from the east, reached the northeast part of the Yukon Territory ca. 30 ka ago.
