Abstract :
[en] This analysis shows that the current impacts of geomorphological changes result mainly from the sum of human activities. However, it is necessary to consider the risk of coastal erosion and forced migration (of mostly poor people) in the coming decades with the amplification of sea level rise due to global warming.
