Title : Climate Signals in Coastal Morphodynamics Observed from Optical Satellite Imagery.
Analysis of waterline and shoreline variability in relation to seasonal to multi-decadal climate variability using a standardized framework for waterline and shoreline detection, developped, validated and applied at a large variety of sites during the PhD. The thesis include i) a methodological study benchmarking standardized waterline mapping approaches across various monitored sites and assessing their performances for the observation of climate-related changes, ii) a study conducted at the continental scale (North American West Coast) focusing on coastal hydro-morphodynamic response to seasonal and ENSO-driven oceanic-atmospheric variability, and iii) a study analyzing and discussing the limits of shoreline proxies for characterizing intertidal beach morphodynamics, especially at meso- to macro-tidal sites.

Conceptual modelization of coastal sediment fluxes at the global scale using a wide variety of reanalysis and global model outputs (e.g., riverine sediment supply, longshore drift).
Analysis of a coarse multi-decadal global scale product of waterline change to investigate the relation between ENSO variability, oceanic and riverine drivers variability, and waterline change.
