The West African coastal barrier is maintained by significant wave-driven longshore sand transport. This originates from rivers and large deposits. Today, however, much of the fluvial trapped behind river dams and/or interrupted at several locations port jetties. As a result, sandy eroding almost everywhere along its length. aim this study to derive large-scale sediment budget analysis, following consistent approach, for countries: Republic Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo Benin, pointing out...
Coastal restoration is often distrusted and, at best, implemented small scales, which hampers its potential for coastal adaptation. Present technical, economic and management barriers stem from sectoral poorly coordinated local interventions, are insufficiently monitored maintained, precluding the upscaling required to build up confidence in ecosystem restoration. The paper posits that there enough knowledge, technology, financial governance capabilities increasing pace scale of restoration,...
Coastal systems are experiencing increasing pressures and degradation due to climatic anthropic factors, projected escalate under future scenarios. Such an increase will require more natural economic resources maintain coastal zones the way we know them, leading competing often incompatible uses for scant fresh water, sand volumes or accommodation space. Without proactive measures, current protection strategies face exacerbating vulnerabilities, resulting in unsustainable risk levels...
The modeling of bar dynamics is crucial for understanding coastal and shoreface nourishment evolution. Due to the complexity variability physical processes involved, formulations developed within process-based numerical modelling system Delft3D representing forcing morphodynamic (waves, currents, sand transport) contain a high number calibration parameters. Therefore, setting up any computation requires tedious work, usually carried out manually therefore by definition subjective. aim this...
A basic requirement for allowing marine aggregate (sand) extraction on the Belgian Continental Shelf (which takes place sandbanks) is that it should not result in major environmental changes. However, a tidal sandbank (Kwinte Bank, Flemish Banks), exploited intensively since 1970’s, has shown evidence of significant morphological changes with development 5 m deep depression its middle section; thus, February 2003, sand ceased this area order to study impacts and regeneration potential...

The potential relevance of wave skewness and sloping beds on morphodynamic predictions is investigated. Based a comparison with measurements it was shown that the phase lag potentially important for modeling nearshore bar dynamics as influences suspended related transports (magnitude direction). Velocity results in shift between orbital motion instantaneous bed shear stress increasing onshore load transport. It seen its influence relatively small but does affect migration helps to predict...
Anglet beach, located in the south of French Atlantic coast, has been experiencing severe erosion for several decades, whereas recurrent dredging necessary to fight against shoaling mouth Adour River. The channel entrance is protected from very energetic wave climate by a main jetty, effect which on system appears be crucial. In this paper, we study relationship between two systems terms sedimentary exchanges. First, determine time history volume subtidal beach sand with bathymetry dataset...
Sand beach profiles can exhibit nearshore sandbars with complex 3D patterns. Under energetic conditions, these patterns disappear and the bars get to a certain extent alongshore uniform. This phenomenon is called reset. The existing literature mainly concerns development of bar (3D) or cross-shore migration (2D). Studies on reset-events from three dimensional point view are limited but be found for instance in Reniers et al. (2004) Smit (2010). paper describes an analysis that aimed at...
Cet article rassemble les résultats d'une campagne de mesures qui a été réalisée sur la plage aquitaine du Truc Yert 14 au 19 octobre 2001.Différentes techniques et méthodologies expérimentales ont mises en oeuvre pour caractériser l'hydrodynamique, le transport sédimentaire, ainsi que l'évolution morphologique cette sableuse.
