How is your beach doing ?

From topographies generated by Wavecams® technology, Waves’n see establishes diagnostics revealing the health state of a beach, by measuring the erosion during stormy events, and the accretion during the following recharges. First, a straightforward approach consists...

Topography validation

Wavecams topographies are validated by comparison with independent topography measurements: DGPS and Lidar data if available.   Here is an example of validation with DGPS measurements acquired in the central part of Etretat bay on the 10th of January 2020, through the...

Time Stack construction

A coastal monitoring system offers multiple opportunities to observe in detail and with high frequency (10 minutes) the physical processes that take place on the coast. In particular, the WaveCams image acquisition technology allows us to obtain diverse hydrodynamic...

Beach topography overview

Monitoring of beach topography evolution on any tidal area is made possible by Wavecams® technology. It enables to efficiently retrieve not only seasonal erosion or accretion trends, but also high frequency topography evolution (about 2 to 4 weeks) emphasising for...
