Temporal approaches of historical extreme storm events based on sedimentological archives

Résumé

This paper presents the benefits of multiplying environmental indicators to better understand the impacts of past storm events on the environment. It aims to describe the methodological approaches used to reconstruct past extreme events from washover deposits, at the three main temporal scales used in scientific bibliography: i) the long timescale (Holocene, since 12 000 years BP), ii) the meso timescale (for the last millenary) and iii) the short timescale (Anthropocene, for the last centuries). This methodology is based on a “multiproxy” analysis using sedimentology, geochemistry and various methods of isotope dating. Linking these methods with other disciplines such as history, archaeology and meteorology leads us to confirm with great certainty the existence of these extreme events, and to expose their impacts on the environment and on past coastal societies. These different approaches enable us to enhance and refine our knowledge of coastal hazards, but also to apprehend possible storm influences in the context of climate change.
