The Quebec government is spending $1.85 million to research landslides in Nunavik.

The Ministry of Public Security committed $1.15 million to Laval University to launch a research project studying the phenomenon in the region’s clay soils, the ministry announced May 30.

Work will involve the mapping and characterization of deposits untouched by water but which still present risk of landslide, and compiling an inventory of large landslides that have occurred in Nunavik.
