Objective | The study's objective is to characterize transfers of sediments between offshore and the shore. In particular, for the subtidal domain, the study strategy relies on acquisition of: (i) bathymetric and imaging data (calibrated by samples and video) to characterize the morphology and nature of the bottom, as well as the paths and means of transfer, and (ii) VHR (Chirp) seismic data in order to specify the volumes of available sediments and the structuring of deposits. Special attention will be given to analyzing the spatial-temporal variability of these transfers. Specifically, the strong, highly morphogenic influence that storms have on these coastal environments will mean that the study requires seasonal to multiannual time steps. |
