En Europe, les crues éclair affectent principalement les régions méditerranéennes et montagneuses. Les bassins concernés sont le plus souvent de petite taille. Anticiper ce type d'événements demeure un exercice ardu parsemé de multiples difficultés. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un projet commun à IRSTEA et Météo-France (projet RHYTMME) et ...
Lessons learnt from the recent catastrophic earthquakes and tsunami across the world motivate research testing using full -scale earthquake shaking-tables. Through this testing avenue, the effects of an earthquake can be reproduced. The dynamic tests involved play significant roles in ensuring the reliability, durability and functionality of engine...

L objectif premier de ce travail est l étude puis la modélisation numérique 3D du fonctionnement hydrogéologique et salin actuel d une partie de l aquifère superficiel de la Moyenne Camargue afin de l utiliser, dans un second temps, pour la prévision qualitative des modifications induites par le changement climatique. La caractérisation de l aquifè...
The southern Campos Basin comprises syn- and post-rift strata characterised by thick and extensive units of non-marine limestones. These carbonate platforms are scientifically significant due to their unusual palaeoenvironmental setting, and the complexity of the factors controlling their accumulation. They are of economic importance due to discove...

Vesuvius in Southern Italy is among the most densely populated active volcanoes on Earth. Although famous for its Plinian eruption that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79, its recent activity, between 1631 and 1944, was primarily effusive. Data from field studies, analogue modelling and historical accounts are here combined to investigate V...
