Scientific objectives

The scientific questions of the team are :

  • How do climatic modes cascade on the coasts from event to interannual scales ?
  • Mechanisms of coastal resilience to climatic and anthropogenic pressures?
  • Where does the sediment go? Means of observation-modelling sediment transport andcoastal hydro-morphodynamics
  • What are the very fine-scale mechanisms of the littoral zone and its exchanges with thecontinental shelf?
