The study presented here describes a method for defining set-back lines along eroding coasts. The method (a mathematical model) combines the long-term shoreline retreat trend with short-term shoreline erosion (during storms). Simulations are carried out for 2030 and compared with the beach width to determine whether the shoreline is likely to shift...

The objective of this paper is to quantify the role of relative sea-level rise in the retreat of the shoreline and to evaluate this retreat in terms of future sea-level rise on 23 pocket beaches in Provence (France). Between 1896 and 1998, all of the investigated pocket beaches underwent erosion, with an average retreat of 12.1 (± 3.5) m. Making us...

We firstly determine the importance of the sea level rise on the Camargue and 25 pocket beaches in Provence during the 20th century. The sea- level rise is the major cause of coastal erosion for pocket beaches, whereas it does not represent severe risk for Camargue's beaches. Lastly, based on past changes, and by integrating the geomorphology of th...

L'objectif de ce travail de recherche est de (1) définir l'évolution du rivage et de la bathymétrie sur le long terme (siècle) sur différents types de plages de Méditerranée française (plages de poche de Provence, plages ouvertes du Golfe du Lion), (2) définir l'impact de l'élévation du niveau marin moyen, (3) déterminer l'impact des tempêtes. Ce t...
