In May 2024, a groundbreaking field campaign commenced in the Callatis-Beidaud area, marking a significant step forward in our understanding of the region’s paleo-environment. This initiative involved the completion of 200 meters of geo-electric (ERT) profiles and the excavation of five boreholes, each reaching depths of up to 8 meters. These boreholes were meticulously sampled […]

Hands-on learning in action! As part of their training in coastal geomorphology methods and techniques, students visited the coastal area of Anavyssos, South Attica. During the field trip, they explored various field methodologies used to study coastal environments and engaged in discussions about the palaeogeographic evolution of the site. This practical experience is essential for

Field investigations carried out in La Ciotat, near Marseille, offered undergraduate students the opportunity to explore the dynamics of artificial beaches within the TRACE Climate project. These urban beaches, confined between rock armouring structures, provide an interesting setting for studying shoreline behaviour and sediment dynamics. During the field training, students tested the hypothesis that such
