My doctoral project investigates how land cover controls snowpack response to rain-on-snow (ROS) events in boreal forest environments. Using intensive field observations in contrasting sites of Montmorency Forest (Québec), we quantify energy and mass balance changes during ROS and examine how forest canopy, regeneration, and open areas modify these processes. The data are used to evaluate physically based snow models and assess how they represent preferential flow and energy exchanges, aiming to improve predictions of runoff generation and winter hydrological response.
