Mobilité des cordons littoraux et submersions marines
Firstly, the morphosedimentary changes of ten gravel barriers located in the bay of Brest are analysed using aerial photographs taken between 1952 and 2004 and DGPS surveys (2004–2005). An analysis of meteorological and oceanographic conditions during this period is then carried out using tide, wind speed and direction data. Finally, the synthesis of these data shows three morphological responses of the gravel spits which allows to define a sensitivity scale for the evaluation of coastal damage.
