Cone Penetration Testing and Hydrogeological Monitoring of a Retrogressive Landslide in Champlain Sea Clay
Champlain Sea Clay (also known as Leda Clay) is a sensitive marine clay that was deposited within the limits of the Champlain Sea transgression during the final retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet. Upon isostatic rebound, the watersheds incised deep river valleys throughout the Ottawa region. These …
