Sandy beaches and coastal dunes still represent a significant portion of the coast of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, northern France. These sandy accumulation landforms, which sometimes constitute the only defense protecting low-lying coastal areas from coastal flooding, are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise associated with climate change. The main objectives of the thesis were to analyze shoreline change and coastal sediment budget at the regional scale, to assess the role of changes in sediment volume on shoreline stability, and to evaluate areas at risk from coastal hazards in the near future, using airborne topographic LiDAR data collected between 2008 and 2014 and aerial photographs from 1963 to 2009. Analyses of shoreline change revealed...
