ABSTRACT: n of SAA technology for coastal rock slope movement monitoring at Gascons, Gaspé Peninsula, Québec, Canada. Lee Danisch and Terry Patterson Measurand Inc., Fredericton, NB, Canada Catherine Cloutier, Pierre-Etienne Lord, and Jacques Locat Université Laval, Québec, QC, Canada Jason Bond Gemini NavSoft Technologies Inc., Fredericton, NB, Canada ABSTRACT This paper describes deployment and automated data delivery for a diverse range of sensors, including arrays of MEMS (micro electromechanical system) sensors, at a rocky site in Québec. Sensed quantities include weather, crack movement, tilt, and pore water pressure. Articulated MEMS arrays called ShapeAccelArrays (SAAs), have also been installed and are being evaluated for measuring deformations in rocky terrain.
