- W2917164962 abstract "The double tombolo of Giens, located in the town of Hyeres, South East of France, is a unique and rare geomorphological formation in the world, which links Giens Island to the continent. It was mainly formed due to the wave diffraction and refraction by the islands. It consists of two parts: the western branch (Almanarre beach) directly facing the Gulf of Giens and the eastern branch lying on the western coast of Hyeres bay. These parts are distinctly separated by the salt pond of Pesquiers. The eastern part of Giens tombolo extends over more than ten kilometers from the mouth of Gapeau river in the north to La Badine beach in the south. The beaches along the eastern tombolo, especially Ceinturon and Bona beaches are subject to beach erosion and beach narrowing due to both natural causes and human interference, but anthropogenic interventions are still dominant. In order to mitigate or prevent coastal erosion, various coastal structures have been used along the eastern Giens tombolo. They can only solve local erosion in some cases, but may also trigger some undesirable effects as well as disadvantages. Even the shore-normal structures that interfere with longshore sediment transport, not only result in the deficit of sediment and erosion in the downstream drift, but also blot out surrounding landscape of the beaches.The main objectives of this study was to better understand the physical processes underlying the morphodynamics, and also anticipate future evolution of the eastern Giens tombolo in response to different actions and interventions taking place along the coast. Thereof, the submerged breakwater (SBW) was proposed to not only protect the Ceinturon and Bona beaches and stabilize the shoreline in the long term, but also maintain beach amenity or aesthetics. DHI’s MIKE 21 and LITPACK numerical models are used in order to achieve these above-mentioned objectives. Additionally, the historical and future medium-term shoreline evolution along the eastern Giens tombolo is also evaluated and predicted by using the combination of remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS) techniques coupled with the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) along with linear regression method. These numerical models were satisfactorily tested available historical data, as they could reproduce the observed hydrodynamics and coastal evolution. Especially, a novel approach suggested to simulate the presence of Posidonia seagrass and various types of seabed is presented in this work. The numerical results interpret the role as well as impact of wind change, seasonal variation, extreme events, Posidonia seagrass, sea level rise, and beach nourishment on the morphological evolution of the eastern Giens tombolo. Moreover, the results obtained strongly demonstrate that the SBWs play a very important in protecting Ceinturon and Bona beaches to a certain degree, viz. effectively reducing the nearshore wave heights, current speed and sediment transport as well as counteracting the retreat of the shoreline under the wave conditions apart from the semi-centennial and centennial storms." @default.
