Monitoring the coastline in the Sparse Islands

Context

The territories of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands are exposed to rising sea levels and changing coastal dynamics. Despite their isolation, these territories are experiencing the global effects of climate change.
Stakes and objectives

Improve scientific knowledge of coastline evolution in order to adapt territorial management and strengthen resilience in the face of erosion and submersion risks.
Stakeholders

TAAF administration, scientific partners.

Facility description

The Facility enables the collection and analysis of data from satellite images, topographic surveys and field observations.

Prospective scenarios are developed to anticipate the future impacts of climate change on the coastline. The results support long-term planning and strategic decision-making.
