Annie Poulin

Her research focuses on understanding, modeling, and predicting hydrological processes in the context of climate and environmental change. Her research aims to improve the reliability of hydrological simulations and flood projections by taking into account uncertainties related to meteorological data, climate models, and hydrological parameters.

She is particularly interested in developing and evaluating optimization methods for the efficient calibration of complex and computationally costly hydrological models, notably the HYDROTEL model, as well as parameter regionalization for ungauged watersheds. Her work covers a wide variety of climatic contexts, including Quebec, Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

Her research also addresses applied issues such as the impact of ground frost on northern hydrology, high-resolution precipitation analysis, evapotranspiration modeling, water temperature forecasting, and the evaluation of municipal-scale flood adaptation measures. Through these contributions, she supports the development of robust tools for water resource management and climate-resilient infrastructure planning.
