A strategy for monitoring systemic vulnerability to marine erosion and flooding

Littoralisation, or the concentration of people and activities in coastal areas, associated with the intrinsic mobility of coasts and with the context of climate change, tends to increase the vulnerability of coastal areas. This article presents a new interdisciplinary approach towards the concept of vulnerability that makes it possible to move beyond the nature/society dichotomy, and an inter-sectorial researcher-manager method for the development of a series of monitoring indicators for the four components of systemic vulnerability: hazards, stakes, management and representations. These indicators are precursors of an integrated observatory that will act as a source of data for research and inform public policy for coastal areas.Le phénomène de littoralisation du peuplement et des activités, associé à la mobilité intrinsèque des côtes et au contexte de changement climatique, tend à accroître la vulnérabilité des territoires côtiers. Cet article propose, d’une part, une approche interdisciplinaire renouvelée du concept de vulnérabilité permettant de dépasser la dichotomie nature/société. D’autre part, il présente une méthode intersectorielle chercheurs-gestionnaires de construction d’une série d’indicateurs de suivi des quatre composantes de la vulnérabilité systémique (aléa, enjeux, gestion et représentations). Ces indicateurs préfigurent un observatoire intégré, à la fois source de données pour la recherche, et au service des politiques publiques pour les territoires côtiers

Introduction: Special Issue on Coastal Evolution under Climate Change along the Tropical Overseas and Temperate Metropolitan France

International audienceThis paper presents how major French science-oriented public institutions and Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation (MESRI) have developed and structured coastal observatories along metropolitan and oversea coastlines in order to better understand the metropolitan and oversea French coastal evolution on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. Scientific results presented in this special Issue have been obtained in the framework of the resulting DYNALIT / ILICO observatory network

Rapport final du groupe de travail. Futur de Coriolis

This report provides the final report of the « Future of Coriolis » working group set up by the Governing Board of the Coriolis 2014-2020 framework agreement during the second half of 2019. It is structured around 4 parts: context, status, recommendations and next steps.Le rapport propose le compte-rendu final des travaux du groupe de travail « Futur de Coriolis » institué par le Comité Directeur de l’accord cadre Coriolis 2014-2020 au cours du deuxième semestre 2019. Il s’articule autour de 4 parties : contexte, état des lieux, préconisations et prochaines étapes

A French research infrastructure for Coastal Ocean and Seashore Observations

ILICO, the French Research Infrastructure for Coastal Ocean and Nearshore Observations, is a notable example of national and pan-institutional efforts to expand knowledge of the complex processes at work within the critical coastal zone in line with the European Ocean Observing System perspective. At the interface between land and sea, ILICO is necessarily multiscale and pluri-disciplinary. It federates complementary distributed observation services (networks) monitoring coastline dynamics, sea level evolution, physical and biogeochemical water properties, coastal water dynamics, phytoplankton, benthos composition and coral reef health in order to monitor and detect episodic events (e.g. extreme events), understand physics-biology multi-scale coupling and answer operational needs and societal demands. Each network is accredited and receives funding from the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation and national public research institutions. In addition to the sustained and long-term nature of its time-series data, ILICO's observation sites have unique geographical coverage spanning both metropolitan coastlines and those of overseas national territories. Significantly, although its scope is not strictly limited to coastal marine systems, ILICO is the French-node of the Joint European Research Infrastructure for Coastal Marine systems (JERICO-RI) led by France. ILICO's latest advances include the implementation of an open data strategy, aggregating multisource data to ensure optimal access and re-use by the scientific community, for operational ocean observing and forecasting, and by public authorities and citizens

Advances in operational oceanography : expanding Europe's ocean observing and forecasting capacity

The 9th EuroGOOS International Conference 2021 was EuroGOOS first virtual conference and was well received by the ocean research and operational community. The strong participation of more than 530 people from over 40 countries around the world, demonstrated the willingness of the ocean observing community to come together and showcase the latest research and developments in operational oceanography, ocean observing and data management
