The highly fissile lithology of the rockwalls and the diversity of mass‐wasting processes provide a specific character to the active talus slopes of the northern Gaspé Peninsula since deglaciation. At a regional scale, the geology of the rockwalls, the patterns and modalities of deglaciation and the...
