| Objective | The objective of this cruise is to analyse the evolution and mobility of underwater banks and dunes in the Iroise Sea though repeated bathymetric surveys (diachronic analysis for kinematics and the morphodynamics of structures) and reflection seismic measurements (sandy systems being established and their long-term dynamics). An additional survey (bathymetry and seismics) is planned on a zone to the north of the Sein Causeway, to mapp the South-Armorican shear zone. |
