WEST (Natural Breaking WavEs and Sediment Transport during beach recovery) project, funded by ANR, focuses on intra-wave hydrodynamics and induced sediment transport at the land-sea interface, specifically on sandy beaches. It relies on innovative instruments and methodologies to understand the variability of the coastal environment and aims at filling the gap between theory and in situ measurements of coastal dynamics. The main study site is made of sand and gravel (mixed environment), and is surveyed for 20 years via topo-bathymetry measurements, leading to a complementary study on the seasonal to multi-annual morphodynamics of such environment. The objective of this workshop is to gather the community around the three following topics: sediment transport under waves, innovative measurement technics & methodology for coastal studies and morphodynamics of mixed (sand & gravel) beaches.

Les inscriptions sont ouvertes jusqu'au 25 janvier. La participation au workshop WEST est gratuite. Vous pouvez proposer un résumé si vous souhaitez présenter vos travaux en lien avec les thématiques proposées. Les présentations feront 15 min avec 5 min de questions.

Un moment convivial sera organisé le 8 avril à 18h pour permettre l'accueil des participants sur Brest.
