The mystery of the disappearing beaches in the Mediterranean

The shifts in the coastline and variations in sand volumes on the coast are spectacular but also complex.

This lecture analyzes how sandy coastlines function and their sensitivity to climate change and human activity. Using examples from the Mediterranean, we will explore the creation, transformation, and disappearance of coastlines, and challenge preconceived notions about erosion and submersion.

Delve into the heart of coastal environmental challenges alongside Frédéric Bouchette, beach physicist, professor at Montpellier University and at the Montpellier Geosciences Laboratory.
