European coastal erosion under the spotlight

During the last few years, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine coast has been repeatedly hit by severe storms causing coastline retreat of several meters (from 10 to 40 meters in 2013-2014, from 5 to 13 meters in 2018). Modelled sea-level rise impact on the same coastline is projected to cause (see the Néo Terra 2019 and the AcclimaTerra …
