A Geomorphological Analysis of the Veatch Slide Complex Off Massachusetts, U.S.A.
TL;DR: In this article, a geomorphological analysis of the Veatch slide complex is presented, indicting the presence of at least two major slides presenting different morphological characteristics and involving different type of sediments (in terms of strength and grain size).
Torrential hazard assessment using a debris-flow runout model. The case of the Faucon stream
Alexandre Remaître,Jean-Philippe Malet,Olivier Maquaire,D. Laigle,Christophe Ancey,Jacques Locat +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of various rheological tests and numerical modelling for assessing torrential risk scenarios in the Faucon torrential stream where a debris-flow occurred in 1996, after a severe thunderstorm over the catchment basin and the breaking of a natural dam.
Book ChapterDOI
Development of a long term monitoring network of sensitive clay slopes in Québec in the context of climate change
Catherine Cloutier,Pascal Locat,Denis Demers,Alexis Fortin,Jacques Locat,Serge Leroueil,Ariane Locat,Jean-Michel Lemieux,Chantal Bilodeau +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of climate change on clay-slope stability and how it can be integrated in landslide risk management to improve public safety are evaluated, and the unsaturated clay crust in slopes susceptible to superficial landslides will be characterized and instrumented.
