Les littoraux sont des zones de concentration de différentes activités socio-économiques qui sont parfois difficiles à concilier. Le tourisme balnéaire par exemple, exige une plage de qualité et des eaux de baignade propres, ce qui peut entrer en conflit avec d'autres activités comme la pêche et la transformation des produits marins. Cet article vi...
During the last 10 kyr, significant subsidence and uplift occurred on Mayotte Island in the Comoros archipelago (Indian Ocean), but the role of volcanic processes in Holocene vertical movements has been neglected in the research so far. Here, we show that an abrupt subsidence of 6–10 m occurred between 9.4 and 10 kyr ago, followed by an uplift of t...
Face à la vulnérabilité des littoraux, qu’une tempête comme Xynthia est venue cruellement rappeler en 2010, les principes d’action sont connus : redéployer les aménagements pour y intégrer les dynamiques naturelles. Le passage à l’action n’est pourtant pas aisé. Quel rôle jouent les appels à projets dans ce processus ?
Entre le début du XVIIIe siècle et la fin du Second Empire, la côte continentale du Pertuis Breton connaît une évolution significative. Elle est constituée de trois paysages géomorphologiques singuliers, dynamiques et corrélés : un territoire marécageux, une zone dunaire et une côte à falaises. Ces milieux subissent des transformations naturelles l...
To reduce computational efforts, surrogate models have been developed for dune erosion prediction. Current surrogate models can describe the relationship between the XBeach input and output (Athanasiou, 2022) and provides a prediction of a morphological indicator based on a parameterized input (profile shape parameters and hydrodynamics). In this r...
This thesis undertakes the first serious study of the extant corpus of imperial Greek periplographic literature. It focusses, in particular, on the way that these texts construct coastal space, arguing that they are bound together by a shared recognition of the shore as a symbol of the territorial limitation of the Roman Empire. The thesis opens wi...

The length of global coastline is about 356 thousand kilometers with various dynamic natural and anthropogenic. Although the number of studies on coastal landscape categorization has been increasing, it is still difficult to distinguish precisely them because the used methods commonly are traditional qualitative ones. With the leverage of remote se...

Microplastic (MP) pollution is an ongoing problem in coastal systems, where wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) deposit particles daily. This study examined MP characteristics at WWTP outflow and control sites in St. Andrew Bay in Northwestern Florida, USA. WWTP sites contained mostly polypropylene fragments (180.1 μm avg. size), while reference si...
A research to study the zooplanktonic population in relation to some abiotic variables of the Kribian coast waters was conducted from July to December 2020 following a monthly sampling in six (6) selected sites. The physicochemical parameters were determining out using standard methods. Concerning the zooplankton, the water was collected at the sur...
