“…Consequently, hydrodynamic conditions are not favourable to onshore sediment transport from the shoreface to the beach during storms. Moreover, in the long term (centennial timescale), this process is confirmed by the negative sediment budget of the Rhône delta shoreface suggesting offshore sediment loss (Sabatier et al, 2006).…”

“…The dune fields of Beauduc and Espiguette spits (around 10 m high and 50-200 m wide) are subject to ideal dune forming processes. Firstly, they display a positive sediment budget for both the beach and the shoreface (Sabatier et al, 2006) in relation to the organisation of the littoral drift cells (Sabatier and Suanez, 2003;Sabatier et al, in press). Secondly, because the shoreline is moving seawards, aeolian fetch on the beach is sufficient to supply the dune.…”

“…The average water discharge is ca. 1.7 x 10 3 m 3 /s (Thill et al, 2001), and a mean sediment discharge of 7-10 x 10 6 tons/yr represents 80 % of the inflow into the Gulf of Lion (Durrieu de Madron et al, 2000, Sabatier et al, 2006 (Kim et al, 2015).…”

“…À l'aval, la zone de l'embouchure est caractérisée par la dissipation de la puissance fluviale, responsable de la construction d'un édifice sédimentaire complexe (barre d'embouchure, front deltaïque, prodelta). Le remaniement de cet édifice dépend de l'occurrence des défluviations du Rhône (Maillet et al, 2006a) et de l'intensité des dynamiques marines qui redistribuent les sédi-ments vers le large ou le long du trait de côte (Suanez, 1997 ;Sabatier 2001 ;Sabatier et al, 2006). Sur la base des observations morpho-sédimentaires et des données disponibles sur la zone, le système a ainsi été organisé en six compartiments ( fig.…”

“…L'approche géomorphologique de ce système hydrosédi-mentaire aux échelles plurimillénaires a permis de montrer les relations existantes entre les différents compartiments du système, dont l'édification holocène de la plaine d'Arles et de son delta par le stockage des apports des crues (ArnaudFassetta, 1998 ;Bruneton, 1999 ;Vella, 1999 ;Provansal et al, 2002), la progradation des embouchures sur la mer et l'édifi-cation des flèches littorales Vella et al, 2005 ;Maillet et al, 2006aMaillet et al, , 2006bSabatier et al, 2006). Le rôle de la variabilité climatique, perçue par la granularité, la fré-quence et la hauteur des dépôts de crues, a aussi a été démontré .…”
