357 observation days on Caribou slope, Lac lEau-Claire, Nunavik

The external face of Lac lEau-Claire islands are characterized by steep slopes. The slope topography and talus morphometry indicate that gravity processes are both inherited and active. Several fresh deposits are observed, sometimes scattered in the far distal part of the talus. At Caribou slope, evidence of recent activity has been observed during field investigations. However, the identification of gravity processes on slopes remains difficult, as no event has ever been reported and no witness is able to relate any event in the remote area. Nevertheless, Lac lEau-Claire is traversed by Cree and Inuit hunters and fishermen all year-round, and a well-known place for trap. Lac lEau-Claire is also part of the Tursujuq National Park, and welcomes tens of tourists each year. Gravity processes thus become not only physical processes, but may raise hazard and risk issues.
