Study of bank mobility issues in the St. Lawrence river section

As part of measure 2.6 of the 2013-2020 Action Plan on Climate Change, and in the wake of the project “[Characterization of the banks of the fluvial part of the St. Lawrence and analysis of the evolution of hydro-climatic factors influencing erosion and flooding hazards] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/caracterisation-des-berges-et-analyse-de-l-evolution-des-facteurs-hydro-climatiques)” ()”, the MELCCFP mandated the team of the **Laboratoire de Géomorphology Terre-Mer du Département de Géomorphology de l'Université Laval ** in order to conduct a study on the mobility issues of banks in the fluvial section of the St. Lawrence. The selection of the six issues, spread over ten sites of interest, was based on the previous shoreline characterization project, which made it possible to locate significant problems related to shoreline mobility. The six issues addressed correspond to: The archipelagos of the fluvial St. Lawrence and the seaway (sites of Île Marie, Île de Grace and Île des Barques) Land use planning and delta formation in Lake Saint-Pierre (Yamachiche Point site) The degradation of the sloping walls between Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap and Champlain (Pointe-au-Vent…
