How hurricanes influence social and economic changes ?
International audience The understanding of the long-term influence of hurricanes on the coastal zone deal with the monitoring the geomorphological evolution and the socioeconomic changes. In this study we analyze, the evolution of the Saint-Martin Island (West Indies, Caraïbean Sea) from 1947 to 20...
