    Description: The aim of this study consists in testing the effectiveness of satellite data in order to monitoring shoreline and sedimentary features changes, especially the rapidly changing of Gulf of Tunis coast. The study area is located in the Gulf of Tunis western bay (Southern Mediterranean Sea) which is characterized by sandy beaches of Ghar Melah and Raoued (Medjerda Delta area). The aerial photographs and satellite imageries were used for mapping the evolution of shoreline. Diachronic data (satellite imagery, aerial photography and topographic maps) were used to monitor and to quantify, the evolution of the coastal areas. These thematic data were digitally overlaid and vectorised for highlighting the shoreline changes between 1936 and 2016, in order to map the rate of erosion and accretion along the shoreline. Results show that the accretion and degradation are related to the Medjerda: change of outlet in 1973 and impoundment of the Sidi Salem dam in 1982. We found that the general trend of the coastal geomorphic processes can be monitored with satellite imageries (such as Sentinel A2, Spots 4 and 5), due to its repetitive coverage along the time and their high quality concerning the spectral contrast between land and sea areas. Improved satellite imageries with high resolution should be a valuable tool for complementing traditional methods for mapping and assessing the sedimentary structures (such as shoreline, delta, marine bars), and monitoring especially the lowlands coastal areas (slightly eroded).

    Description: Vue le développement urbain et touristique immense dans le golfe de Hammamet ,l’érosion et la sédimentation spatio-temporelle sont en déséquilibre constant. L’objectif principal de ce mémoire est d’étudier le secteur côtier du Golfe de Hammamet entre la région Mâamoura au Nord et Hergla au Sud. L’application du Systèmes d’Information Géographique (SIG), c’est à dire des systèmes informatiques capables de regrouper, organiser, gérer des données géographiques diverses et la a télédétection à partir des traitements des images satellitaires montre une évolution spatio-temporelle de l’occupation du sol entre 1987 et 2014 ainsi qu’un recul spectaculaire du trait de côte pendant 13 ans (2001-2014). L’étude sédimentologique des sédiments du Golfe de Hammamet montre que la majorité des sédiments sont homogènes, unimodaux, de taille moyenne et sont bien à très bien classés. L’analyse granulométrique a conduit à interpréter la structure dimensionnelle des sables de l’avant-côte du Golfe de Hammamet. L’étude morphodynamique montre que les plages du Golfe de Hammamet sont de type intermédiaire.
    Description: Having seen huge urban and tourist development in the gulf of Hammamet, erosion and spatiotemporal sedimentation are in constant rocking. The main objective of this memo is to study the coastal sector of the Gulf of Hammamet between the region Mâamoura in the North and Hergla in the South. Application of Systems of Geographical Information (SIG), that is computer systems capable of regrouping, of organising, of managing various geographical data and has its remote sensing from the treatments of the satellite pictures show a spatiotemporal evolution of the occupation of the soil between 1987 and 2014 as well as a spectacular detachment of the feature of coast during 13 years (2001- 2014). Study sédimentology sediments of the Gulf of Hammamet show that the majority of the sediments is homogeneous, unimodal, of medium size and well belong to very well classifying. The granulométrique analysis led to interpret the dimensional structure of sands of the front - coast of the Gulf of Hammamet. Morphodynamic study shows that the beaches of the Gulf of Hammamet are intermediate type.

    Description: Le suivi de la réponse morphodynamique d’une plage sableuse microtidale à barres soumise à des conditions météorologiques extrêmes ont fait l’objet de cette étude. Le secteur d’étude est localisé dans la baie occidentale du golfe de Tunis : les plages de Kalâat Andalous et de Raoued (Mer Méditerranée). L’étude morphodynamique a été effectuée grâce à une étude sédimentologique complétée par des mesures topo-bathymétriques de détail de l’avant côte (de 0 à - 8 m de profondeur). Les conditions météorologiques qui régissaient les campagnes de terrain étaient caractérisées par une tempête marine estivale de direction Sud-Est (Juin 2014). Le calcul du paramètre Ω et du surf similarity index ξ indique que les plages de Kalâat Andalous sont dissipatives (Ω = 11,4 et 12,4 ; ξ= 0,54 et 1,52) à intermédiaires au niveau des plages de Raoued (Ω = 2,7 et 12,4 ; ξ= 0,4 et 1,33). La distribution texturale des sédiments de l’avant plage de Kalâat Andalous et de Raoued montre un granoclassement décroissant vers le large marqué par des zones hétérogènes. Le prisme littoral de la partie centrale de la baie est caractérisé par l’existence de deux barres d’avant-côte :1- Une barre interne festonnée (Rythmic Bar and Beach =RBB) et 2- une barre externe qui prend une forme transversale rythmique (Transverse Bar and Rip = TBB) moins uniforme. La barre interne révèle une instabilité sous le forçage du régime hydrodynamique des vagues incidentes de direction Sud-Est. Cette réponse morphodynamique tridimentionnelle des barres à l’action de la houle estivale de tempête Sud-Est se manifeste parle festonnage des barres internes et la périodicité des barres externes. L’analyse texturale et la nature des sédiments confirment ce diagnostic.
    Description: The aim of this study is the monitoring of the morphodynamic response of a microtidal sandbars beaches under storm surge conditions. The workfield is located in the western bay of the Gulf of Tunis: Kalâat Andalous and Raoued beaches (Mediterranean Sea). The morphodynamic study was based on a sedimentological surveys completed by a detailed topo-bathymetric measurement (from 0 to -8 m in depth). The field campaigns were conducted in a south to eastern wave dominated storm condition (June 2014). The calculation of Ω parameter and surf similarity index ξ indicates that beaches are ranging from dissipative for Kalâat Andalous (Ω = 11,4 and 12,4 ; ξ= 0,54 and 1,52) to intermediate for Raoued (Ω = 2,7 and 12,4 ; ξ= 0,4 and 1,33). Sediments textural distribution of Kalâat Andalous and Raoued nearshores shows a decreasing of the grain size pattern toward seaward marked by heterogeneous zones. The coastal prism of the central bay’s area is characterized by the existence of two nearshore sandbars: 1- A crescentic inner bar (Rythmic Bar and Beach =RBB) and 2- A rhythmic transversal shaped outer bar (Transverse Bar and Rip = TBB) less uniform. The inner bar reveals an instability under the forcing of the southeast incident waves’ hydrodynamic regime. In fact, the three-dimensional shape of the sandbars reflected the morphodynamic response to the action of the summer Southeast swell. Both of the textural analysis and the nature of the sediments confirm this diagnosis.

    Description: Dans le cadre du programme de recherche institutionnel MOSBIOCLIM du LR02INSTM04, une étude multi approches a été entreprise pour suivre l’évolution morphodynamique multi–temporelle de la flèche sableuse de Kalâat Andalous (baie ouest du golfe de Tunis, Tunisie). L’analyse des variations du rivage entre les dates 1882 et 2016 permet de décrire sa genèse rapide dont l’allongement et le déplacement ont contribué à la création d’une lagune côtière. La diminution des apports fluviaux de l’embouchure historique de la Medjerda (Foum El oued) du fait de son avulsion vers le sud et la mise en place de barrages sur le bassin versant expliquent le recul très sévère du rivage EPR (End Point Rate) de -15,95 m±0.17 /an et de la construction de la flèche par redistribution latérale des sédiments charriés par la dérive littorale. A ces observations à long terme nous ajoutons une description morphologique inédite de la bathymétrie des petits fonds réalisée en 2019. La morphologie festonnée des corps sableux suggère un impact quasi frontal des houles lors des tempêtes marines ce qui contribuerait aussi à son ajustement dû au déficit sédimentaire.
    Description: As a part of the MOSBIOCLIM institutional research program of the LR02INSTM04, a multi-approaches study has been undertaken to monitor the multi-temporal morphodynamic evolution of the coastal sandy spit of Kalâat Andalous (western bay of the Gulf of Tunis, Tunisia). The methodology is based on the monitoring the spatial evolution of the shoreline position from 1882 to 2016 in order to describe the rapid sandy barrier creation and the migration of the coastal lagoon sandy barriers. The reduction of the Medjerda River yields due to the displacement of the historic natural course (Foum El Oued) southward and the built up of dams on the watershed plain explain the alarming retreat of the shoreline with an average rate of EPR (End Point Rate) of -15.95 m ±0.17 /yr and the creation of the sandy spit by spatial redistribution of sediment under the coastal drift current. The long-term spatial observation was completed by the nearshore bathymetric surveys of the sandy spit in 2019. The crescentic inner sandbar morphology is a response to the wave-dominated swells during marine storms which would also contribute to its reduced sediment balance.

    Description: Le Golfe de Tunis subit une évolution rapide et complexe signalée comme conséquence de l'élévation accélérée du niveau de la mer résultant du réchauffement climatique. En particulier, il est intéressant de comprendre l’évolution morphodynamique des plages, qui sont fortement affectées par des variations décennales des facteurs climatiques et anthropiques. Les principaux objectifs de cette thèse sont de comprendre les processus morphodynamiques qui régissent le littoral de la BOGT, d’analyser l’évolution de la position du trait de côte plusieurs échelles spatio-temporelles et l’évaluation de la vulnérabilité côtière en relation avec les facteurs physiques et socio-économiques. Le prisme littoral au de la baie est caractérisé par l’existence de deux barres d’avant côte :1- Une barre interne festonnée et 2- une barre externe qui prend une forme transversale rythmique moins uniforme. Les analyses de l'évolution spatiale du littoral de la BOGT (1882-2016) ont révélé une tendance à l'érosion sur 60% de la côte étudiée. L'indice intégré de Vulnérabilité Côtière (ICVI) révèle que 67% des côtes de la baie présentent une vulnérabilité élevée a beaucoup élevé. En particulier, les zones deltaïques fortement peuplées en Tunisie et en Égypte sont plus vulnérables (70%). Ces vastes zones de forte vulnérabilité sont également corrélées à la sécurité alimentaire locale, ce qui entraînent une augmentation des tendances de migration de sortie. Notre étude morphodynamique de la BOGT suggère que les facteurs anthropiques, la construction des barrages et la croissance urbaine rapide au cours des dernières décennies, sont responsables de la vulnérabilité accélérée des côtes plutôt que le changement climatique
    Description: The Gulf of Tunis is undergoing pronounced shoreline retreats and coastal flooding that is reported as a consequence of the ongoing sea level rise resulting from global warming. Of particular interest are the abnormal shoreline dynamics for deltaic and sandy beaches, which are severely impacted by abrupt decadal variabilities in both climatic and anthropogenic drivers resulting in their increased vulnerability to disturbances from coastal hazards. The main objectives of the thesis were to study the evolution of sedimentary coasts systems, to analyze shoreline change and to evaluate coastal vulnerability of the WBGT. The beaches of the north coast of WBGT are structured by two sandy bar types: festooned and straight. Analyses of historical shoreline change (1882-2016) revealed an erosional trend on 60% of the studied coast. The statistical Integrated Coastal Vulnerability Index map reveals that 67% WBGT coasts are characterized by high to very high vulnerability. In particular, we observe that the densely populated deltaic coasts in both Tunisia and Egypt are 70% more vulnerable than any others coast in the eastern Mediterranean Basin. These abnormally high-vulnerability extensive areas are also correlated with significant deterioration of coastal aquifers and hence in crop production, compromising local food security and resulting in increasing outflow migration trends. Our morphodynamic approach of the amplitude and extent of these high coastal vulnerabilities suggests that they result from the anthropogenic drivers of damming and rapid urban growth over the last few decades rather than the effects of global warming.

    Description: Sandy barriers are coastal features formed and reworked by terrestrial and marine-induced processes along decadal to millenary scale periods. In the semi-arid areas along the extended North African coast, these coastal landscapes are undergoing accelerated morphodynamical changes induced by intensifying anthropogenic and climate drivers in the last century. To quantify the latter, we assess the changes in sediment dynamics of the Ghar El Melh sandy barrier extended over the northern part of the Gulf of Tunis in Tunisia using sedimentological analysis and quantification of the aeolian flux. A total of 37 subsurface samples and 30 surface aeolian trapped ones were collected at the coastal dunes of Ghar El Melh. Our sedimentological analysis reveals a distribution of 97% of sandy sediments and 3% of silty facies. The modal statistical analysis suggests that there are three distinguishable sediment types with 87% of samples formed by fine sands with modal value of 0.16 mm. The mixture of these indicates mixed terrigenous and marine sources redistributed by the hydrodynamic processes. The measurement of the aeolian flow suggests a maximum value of 0.0022 kg.m.-1min-1 which occurs in dust storms. This study reveals the low detrital sand supplies to the lagoon-sea barrier of Ghar El Melh, results in its gradual submersion, further exposing the coastal lagoon and engendering severe ecological degradations.
