About the Author

Mohamed Maanan is an associate professor at University of Nantes (France). His research is concerned with the interaction between coastal environment processes, earth surface materials and impact of Human activities. In particular, attention is focussed on sediment delivery processes – the temporal and spatial dynamics of sediment production and transfer (continent-ocean).

Marc Robin is Professor of the University of Nantes (France). He is specialised in watershed and coastal dynamics, policy making and management of coastal areas, risks and hazards issues along coastline, remote sensing of coastal resources and management of coastal data into geographical information systems.
