ABSTRACT: An integrated mass movement monitoring system including ground and satellite observations has been developed for an active coastal rockslide at Gascons, in the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec, which is threatening a railroad. The monitoring system has been put in place in order to understand the various types of movements in an attempt to develop both warning criteria and risk assessment scenarios to be considered as part of a risk the management plan for the Gascons site.

RÉSUMÉ: Un projet intégré de suivi sur le terrain et par satellite a été développé pour un glissement rocheux côtier dans la région de Gascons en Gaspésie lequel présente une menace pour la voie ferrée du secteur. Le système de suivi a été mis en place afin de pouvoir comprendre les mouvements du massif rocheux et ainsi développer à la fois des critères d'alerte et une analyse du risque qui seront intégrés à la gestion du risque pour cette portion de la voie ferrée dans la région de Gascons.
