River channel changes in the Rhone Delta (France) since the end of the Little Ice Age : geomorphological adjustment to hydroclimatic change and natural resource management
Geomorphological adjustment in the Rhone catchment since the final stage of the Little Ice Age has been induced by hydroclimatic change and human disturbances. These adjustments are examined to highlight the response of 2 sand-bed distributary
channels of the Rhone Delta. By using methods such as sedimentological evidence, historical sources, planimetric resurvey, repeated longitudinal and cross-profiling and hydraulic data, the geomorphological and hydraulic responses to channel changes

geomorphological investigations. Integration of such findings, that is scale linkage, is a difficult, but essential task that requires development of rigorous theory.

The results of selected geomorphological studies focused on long term landforms evolution, the role of planation surfaces and differential tectonics, glacial and periglacial processes. Detailed studies have been curried out in the surroundingd
