The Role of Paraglacial and Periglacial Processes in Shaping Glacial Valleys
Are U-shaped valleys, long regarded as the exclusive result of glacial erosion, significantly shaped by processes occurring during interglacial periods? This study challenges conventional glacial geomorphology by quantifying the sedimentary contributions of interglacial sequences.Focusing on the Nesdalur valley in Iceland's Westfjords—a U-shaped valley sculpted by repeated glaciation-deglaciation cycles and marked by its Tertiary basalt structure…
Coping Strategies Regarding Coastal Flooding Risk in a Context of Climate Change in a French Caribbean Island
Coastal flooding risks are becoming increasingly important because of the increasing vulnerability of coastal territories and the rise of ocean levels in relation to climate change. Studying the adaptation to these phenomena requires taking into account the coping strategies (problem-focused or emotional-focused coping) implemented by the inhabitants of the exposed territories. A theoretical model of situational and dispositional factors determin…
Determinants of coping strategies in two types of natural hazards
Vulnerability and costs of adaptation strategies for housing subjected to flood risks
Vulnerability to coastal flood hazard of residential buildings on Noirmoutier Island (France)

An early Holocene age for the Vatn landslide (Skagafjörður, central northern Iceland)
Recent research in northern Iceland has highlighted a significant period of rock slope instability during the early Holocene due to the combined effects of postglacial rebound, relative sea-level fall, and glacially oversteepened mountain slopes. Using the Vatn landslide (Skagafjörður, central northern Iceland) as an example, this paper focuses on this period and describes the sequence of events that led to landsliding. Geomorphic mapping, strati…
The Höfðahólar rock avalanche (sturzström)
The Höfðahólar rock avalanche, in the Skagafjörður area of northern Iceland, was investigated on the basis of a geomorphological analysis of its landforms and close surrounding environment. Thanks to sound chronological constraints ( 14 C dating from birch remnants in peat areas that developed within depressions over the chaotic rock-avalanche deposit, tephrochronological sequences resulting from subsequent ash fallouts over the deposit, calibrat…
