The Mystery of the Disappearing Beaches in the Mediterranean

Coastal shifts and changes in sand volumes along coastlines are dramatic but also complex.

This lecture examines how sandy coastlines function and their vulnerability to climate change and human activity. Using examples from the Mediterranean, we will explore the formation, transformation, and disappearance of coastlines, and challenge common misconceptions about erosion and flooding.

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