Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralogical and microstructural development of the sediments on the Mid-Norwegian margin
TL;DR: In this article, the mineralogy and microstructure of samples from a series of boreholes from the slide neighbourhood have been analyzed, and the results show a change from kaolinite-rich oozes through smectite-rich fossil-ferous clays/clayey oozes to illite dominated hemipelagic and glacial sediments from the Brygge (Eocene to earliest Miocene) to Kai (earliest Miocene to late Pliocene), to Naust Formations (late pliocene to present), respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erosion and channel change as factors of landslides and valley formation in Champlain Sea Clays: The Chacoura River, Quebec, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, a map of the phenomena has been drawn by identifying various elements such as landslides, limits of the slope, position of the channel, and the area covered by forest.
Journal Article
Behavior of common rock-forming minerals in a strongly basic NaOH solution
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of several common minerals in a pure sodium hydroxide solution was evaluated by the means of two experiments, and the results showed that the most stable phases were found to be the iron and magnesium silicates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physicochemical and geotechnical characteristics of recent Saguenay Fjord sediments
Jacques Locat,Serge Leroueil +1 more
TL;DR: In the spring of 1985, the first goetechnical reconnaissance of recent Saguenay Fjord sediments took place, in which were recorded the two Saint-Jean-Vianney slides of 1663 and 1971 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale seismically-induced mass-movements in a former glacial lake basin: Lake Témiscouata, northeastern Appalachians (eastern Canada)
Patrick Lajeunesse,Bryan Sinkunas,Antoine Morissette,Alexandre Normandeau,Alexandre Normandeau,Gabriel Joyal,Guillaume St-Onge,Jacques Locat +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new high-resolution multibeam bathymetric, sub-bottom profiler and sediment core data collected in Lake Temiscouata, southeastern Quebec, the largest lake located within the influence of the Charlevoix-Kamouraska Seismic Zone (CKSZ).
