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?
