Review of coastal extreme events during the last millennium in the French Atlantic coast
International audience This research reviews historical storms with marine flooding that had a significant morphological impact into sensitive coastal stretches. It aims to help coastal societies to better understand the past stormy dynamics, a needed knowledge to face damaging events and build a mo...
