Le recul des falaises crayeuses du Pays de Caux : détermination des processus d'érosion et quantification des rythmes d'évolution / Retreat of chalk cliffs in the Pays de Caux: processes and rates

Abstract: Résumé L'érosion des côtes à falaises est souvent exprimée par le biais des vitesses de recul du rivage. Ces taux de retrait donnent une bonne appréciation de leur érosion, mais ils masquent une partie du problème, c'est-à-dire les processus par lesquels les falaises sont érodées. Une étude diachronique des évolutions d'une partie de la côte crayeuse du Pays de Caux (Normandie, France) basée sur la comparaison des plans cadastraux et de photographies aériennes, ainsi que sur une approche naturaliste associée à… Show more

“…None of the samples measured for profiles 1, 2 and 4 has been discarded. This age distribution is in agreement with the observed morphology showing multiple scars that could correspond with successive small collapse events in the past (Henaff et al, 2002;Duperret et al, 2004;Pierre, 2006).…”

“…Except for the west Wales coast, the studies quoted above do not provide precise measurement of cliff retreat. The chalk cliff between Petit Blanc-Nez and Fond du Guet is similar to those of the Pays de Caux and south-east England, for which the amount (Hénaff et al, 2002;Costa et al, 2004, May, 1971May and Heeps, 1985) and the modes of retreat (Watremez, 2001;Hénaff et al, 2002;Duperret et al, 2004;Mortimore et al, 2004aMortimore et al, , 2004b are well known.…”

“…The evolution of soft rock or hard rock coastal cliffs is generally examined using the amount of retreat (Catalao et al, 2002;Pierre and Lahousse, 2003;Zviely and Klein, 2004), the retreat rate (Rudberg, 1967;May, 1971;May and Heeps, 1985;Allison, 1989;Hénaff et al, 2002), the modes -marine processes or subaerian processes (Robinson, 1977;Sunamura, 1982;Nott, 1990;Alveirinho Dias and Neal, 1992;Kirkgöz, 1995;Allison and Kimber, 1998;Benumof et al, 2000;Duperret et al, 2002a;Pierre, 2003a, Brossard and, or the causes of the retreat (static causes, Bonte, 1959;Jones and Williams, 1991;Davies et al, 1998;Duperret et al, 2002b;Costa et al, 2003;or dynamic causes, Caudron et al, 2001). However, these various parameters are often investigated separately, or, in the case of Blanc-Nez, over a reduced and structurally homogeneous section of the coastline (Lahousse and Pierre, 2003b).…”

“…From rock fall measurements made by ESTRAN, the volume was calculated (rock fall shape as a straight prism with a rectangular base; overall bulking factor of 33% (Hénaff et al ., )). Twelve rock falls have an unknown volume due to the lack of measurements.…”

“…Some may have been evacuated in a few days (according to Hénaff et al . (): about 40 m 3 per day are removed by marine actions along the Upper Normandy coast) and have left few traces for the weekly inventory of the ESTRAN organization. Thus, the analysis and results of these small volumes should be treated with caution; ‐rock falls with a volume between 200 and 1400 m 3 (100 rock falls visible from one week to another, 31%).…”
