Caractérisation de la morphologie des massifs dunaires de la région Pays de la Loire (France) face au risque de submersion marine

VertigO, 2018
Especially in areas with high human and non-human stakes, coastal dunes may act as natural forms of coastal protection against coastal flooding. This justifies the importance of assessing their ability at protecting the low-lying areas.
