Assessing coastal dunes rehabilitation using very high resolution digital elevation models: an example from Leffrinckoucke, northern France
Résumé
A part of the dune restoration zone in Leffrinckoucke (northern France) was monitored using high
resolution DEMs from 1999 to 2001. Maps comparison shows regular dune growth in the fenceequipped
area. Volume computation and statistical analysis confirm the accretional trend detected
from map analysis and enable a quantitative assessment of the efficiency of the fences and
brushwood barriers.
