Mapping of the natural vegetable trainings on a regional scale by classification of temporal series of satellite images
Forest cover mapping is an essential tool for forest management. Detailed maps, characterizing forest types at a régional scale, are needed. This need can be fulfilled by médium spatial resolution optical satellite images time sériés. This thesis aims at improving the supervised classification procé...
The subjectivity of climate change in the island. The case of Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Islands are the first to be affected by climate change (CC): their small size, generally low altitudes and external dependence increase their vulnerability to natural, particularly coastal hazards, aggravated by CC (Bertrand and Richard, 2011). Nowadays, the introduction of adaptation to CC is criti...
Des capteurs communicants longue portée à très bas débit en bande UHF, pour le suivi de la plaisance
national audience The work presented in this paper focuses on the development of a very low-cost hardware and software solution enabling, through low-speed network infrastructures, the multiplication of long-range, reliable, robust (therefore amarino) sensors, autonomous, miniature, discrete, to wor...

Coastal erosion as an element of persuasion of municipalities towards a more sustainable path: the municipalities of Carry-le-Rouet and Biarritz
The coastline is a very popular area that is facing increasingly frequent attacks in front of the sea, leading to a backsliding of the coastline. Almost a quarter of the French coastline is subject to erosion. Faced with this phenomenon, the majority of municipalities use a method of combating erosi...
Small-scale fishing activity in the south of the Mediterranean: governance, socio-economic dynamics and environmental issues in the Algerian port of Jijel (Boudis)
Fishing is one of the most important socio-economic activities in the Mediterranean and particularly in the Maghreb. In Algeria, in recent decades it has become a leading employment sector for a large part of the coastal population. Exploitation of the sea is also one of the main animal protein reso...
Comparison of two fine scale spatial models for mapping temperatures inside winegrowing areas
International audience Climate change is a major issue for the wine industry. Climate and in particular temperature plays a key role in vine physiology and phenology. Temperatures can be highly variable inside a winegrowing region and they are strongly related to local environment (topography, water...
Logistical pooling: between theories and practices
The environment in which companies operate changes (stagnating markets, stronger competition, increasing environmental pressure, increasing costs, particularly transport costs, etc.).These changes encourage firms to adopt new strategies in managing their flows. The professional press is increasingly...
Quantitative and qualitative aspects of the waters passing through the Hammamet karstic cave Algeria
The work on knowledge and operation is rare, as the latest work on this cave is very old. This situation hampers the current work. To carry out our work, we looked at the external morphology of the cave. The finding shows a gondolated morphology reflecting the presence of small dolines, which allow...
The specific characteristics of mayors in the French Mediterranean area
An analysis of the characteristics of elected representatives of French municipalities according to their proximity to the Mediterranean on the basis of secondary processing of data from the National Repository of Elected Representatives (2010) shows that, the closer to the Mediterranean coast, the...
Terrestrial herbivorous mammals in a mosaic of Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, and land-use changes
The Cerrado and Atlantic forest biodiversity hotspots have been experiencing rapid land-use changes in the last five decades resulting in habitat fragmentation, invasion of exotic species and biodiversity loss. Herbivore mammals are a key community to investigate the impacts of land-use changes on b...
The Garifuna. Territorial transnationality, identity building and political action
The Garifuna, the products of the conflict between Africans and indigenous Caribes during the colonial period, have been living since the 18th century on the Caribbean coastline of four Central American countries (Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua). Following a steady migration process that...
Geographical data infrastructures and environmental research observatories: an example of implementation
This article describes a Geographical Data Infrastructure (Indigeo) developed in an academic framework involving a research laboratory and several environmental observatories. The deployed solution, based on free tools, is based on a metadata catalogue and a geo-referenced data server, backed by a w...

Promenade Along the Coast: Paul Nash and Dave McKean Revisit Dymchurch
This paper examines the specificity of the coastline as a natural, cultural and medial boundary and interface. It focuses on how the motif of the coastline is depicted and remediated in the works of English artists Paul Nash and Dave McKean: between 1919 and 1925, as he was coming to terms with the...
PaturMata, a model to manage grassland under climate change, Agronomy for Sustainable Development
International audience Agricultural intensification has greatly decreased grassland surface area in some regions, thus changing grassland management and modifying environmental and socio-economic systems. Therefore, knowledge about grassland management practices in farming systems is needed for sust...
English saints and the marine environment. The contribution of a few hagiographic texts to knowledge of the coastal environment in England at the beginning of the Middle Ages
This will not be so much an answer — which, necessarily nuanced, would have nothing original — to the question of the historical reliability of hagiographic stories, but to present a small sample of extracts from Anglo-saxon worms; stress, after rapid stripping, what their originality owes to the ex...
