D. student at the CEREGE and at the Tour du ValatMy research focuses on the Camargue coastline, and more specifically the beach to the south of the Etang de Beauduc. This geographical area, formerly belonging to the Salins du Midi, was bought by the Conservatoire du Littoral in 2008. The Conservatoire du Littoral's management policy is to leave the area alone. For example, the dyke running parallel to the existing beach has been left abandoned by choice. Through overwash processes and reworking of the sand via channels, the area has undergone significant change since this change in management. New marine inputs feed the Rhône delta's largest hydrosystem via these channels. This site is one of seven European pilot sites in the RestCoast programme (https://rest-coast.eu/), a programme that funds my thesis.
