PHYSICAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATIC CHANGE ON DELTAIC COASTAL SYSTEMS (II): DRIVING TERMS

摘要: The evaluation of the impact climatic change on deltaic coastal systems requires establishing a ‘reference situation’. As zones are highly dynamic areas, it is necessary to define reference situation as function their present evolutive stage. This implies characterizing processes complex system defined by links between driving or forcing terms and response at different temporal spatial scales (‘long/large’, ‘medium’ ‘episodic’ scales). Starting from classical previous works including all available field conceptual knowledge properly consider conditions (largely regulated rivers, subsidence, etc.) detailed methodology analyse agents three mentioned presented. which developed general approach presented in companion paper, will be followed future paper focusing analysis response.
