Intertidal mudflats play a critical role in estuarine exchange, connecting marine and continental supplies of nutrients sediments. However, their complex morphodynamics, associated with wide range physical biological processes, are still poorly understood require further field investigation. In addition, challenging areas for Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetric surveys. Indeed, the generally hold back residual tidal water, which can make stereo restitution particularly difficult...
Long-term datasets documenting the evolution of coastal forms and processes, through provision recurring beach as well shoreface morphological observations accompanying time-series environmental controls, remain difficult to collect are rarely made available. However, they increasingly needed further our understanding change improve models that will help planning what future coast be. This data descriptor presents results topographic bathymetric surveys at Porsmilin, a macrotidal embayed...
This paper aims to compare models from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), photogrammetry (TP), and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVP) surveys evaluate their potential in cliff erosion monitoring. TLS has commonly been used monitor cliff-face (monitoring since 2010 Normandy) because it guarantees results of high precision. Due some uncertainties limitations TLS, TP UAVP can be seen as alternative methods. First, the texture quality is better than that which could useful for analysis...
Hyperspectral imagery has proven its potential in many research applications, especially the field of environmental sciences. Currently, hyperspectral imaging is generally performed by satellite or aircraft platforms, but mini-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) platforms (<20 kg) are now emerging. On such payload restrictions critical, so sensors must be selected according to stringent specifications. This article presents integration a light pushbroom sensor onboard multirotor UAV, which we...
Advances in image-based remote sensing using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry continue to improve our ability monitor complex landforms over representative spatial temporal scales. As with other water-worked environments, coastal sediments respond shaping processes through the formation of multi-scale topographic roughness. Although this complexity can be an important marker hydrodynamic forces sediment transport, it is seldom characterized...
In the dual context of coastal hazard intensification and growing number stakes exposed to these hazards, observatories are in demand provide a structured framework dedicated long-term monitoring.

A field experiment was conducted at a tropical microtidal intermediate sandy beach with low tide terrace (Nha Trang, Vietnam) to investigate the short-term swash-zone hydrodynamics and morphodynamics under variable wave conditions. Continuous 2D Lidar scanner observations of height lower foreshore, subsequent run-up swash-induced topographic changes were obtained. These data complemented by detailed real-time kinematic GPS surveys. Variable conditions experienced during relatively large...
Gravity on Earth is of great interest in geodesy, geophysics, and natural resource exploration. Ship-based gravimeters are a widely used instrument for the collection surface gravity field data marine regions. However, due to considerable distance from sea seafloor, spatial resolution collected ships often insufficient image detail seafloor geological structures explore offshore minerals. Therefore, development mobile underwater gravimetry system necessary. The GraviMob gravimeter, developed...

Hyper-DRELIO (Hyperspectral DRone for Environmental and LIttoral Observations) is a custom, mini-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) platform (<20 kg), equipped with light push broom hyperspectral sensor combined navigation module measuring position orientation. Because of the particularities UAV surveys (low flight altitude, small spatial scale, high resolution), dedicated pre-processing methods have to be developed when reconstructing imagery. This article presents light, easy-implementation,...
Abstract The morphodynamic functioning of the Sillon de Talbert gravel barrier spit is analysed using a high‐frequency survey carried out between September 2012 and December 2019. It based on beach profile measurements along two transects, modelling offshore wave data (WW3), tide gauge records, shallow waves water levels recorded in intertidal zone. A retreat −23 to −30 m over 7‐year (i.e. −3.3 −4.3 yr −1 ) measured. This not related long‐term sea level rise (macroscale 10 2 –10 3 yr), but...
In this study, we used orthomosaics and a digital surface model (DSM) generated from drone surveys to (1) characterize the distribution of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) aggregations at high resolution (centimeters), (2) evaluate role topographic features, intertidal height, slope, orientation angle in determining on two rocky shores oriented differently both sides beach French Brittany coast. We first developed tested visualization index (MVI) for mapping images. Then, analyzed shores....
The Sillon de Talbert is situated on the Northern coast of Brittany; it a large 3.5 km-long swash-aligned gravel spit barrier comprising volume sediment 1.23x106 m³. Since 2002 morphodynamic survey was carried out. It based annual DEMs and monthly beach profile measurements. Waves water levels are also surveyed using modelling data field 15-years (2002-2017) budget calculation shows that cross-shore transfers dominant represent total 370,000 m³, while longshore transfer estimated at about...
