Abstract
The present work is based on The RYSCMED project supported by PHC-UTIQUE 2016–2018 (16G 1005–34854QC). The RYSCMED is an interdisciplinary project which gathers different geoscience disciplines (e.g. sedimentology, hydrology, geochemistry, ecology, palaeontology, biochemistry, archeology) to quantify the sediment flow of the land-sea system. The planned research aims at identifying coastal sediment dynamics (via sand supply sources) and hydrodynamic parameters to understand local environmental problems in an urbanized Mediterranean coastal framework. The outcome is expected to produce original and new findings about the link between dams, river hydrology and sediment origins to the sea with the impact of climate and anthropogenic activities on the coastal geomorphology and ecosystem sensitivity. This outcome will be addressed to the socio-economic actors to implement necessary solutions for remediating the Mediterranean coastal vulnerability.
