Marine litter mapping along the Porquerolles islands
The presence of beach litter (or macro-waste) along the Parc National de
Port-Cros (PNPC)
shores has an important impact on the environment and the local economy.
As a previous
stage in macro-waste management, it appears essential to better know the
waste flux, their
potential sources and stranding zones as well as their variability
depending on the weather
conditions and the anthropic pressure (tourism, industry, marine
traffic...). This work takes
place in the framework of the CADOR project (funded by Toulon Provence
M?diterran?e
TPM), for which the main goal is to better understand the small scale
dynamics of the area
and their impact on litter transport. Monitoring the absence or presence
of litter along the
shores, as well as using data from drifters able to transmit their
position in real time will
help in establishing a link between the litter provided by local rivers
and their specific
impact on the PNPC shores, depending on the oceanic and atmospheric
conditions.
The task proposed here will feature a field campaign around the PNPC
shores including
litter monitoring and drifter deployments. Numerical simulations (ocean
/ atmosphere) will
also be used for the area to complete the study. The drifters deployed
at rivers mouths will
be monitored and confronted to the beach litter observations. The shores
will be separated in
different categories depending on their coastline shape and sensibility
(orientation) to the
main local currents and winds. This should help in mapping the main
litter transport paths of
the area as well as giving a litter distribution overview. Seasonal
deployment as well as
during extreme weather events (rain, wind, waves) will be also performed
in order to
highlight the importance of atmospheric / hydrodynamic forcing.
The candidate tasks will be mainly to : (i) set up the experimental
protocol for the drifters
deployment, (ii) monitor the litter distribution along the PNPC shores,
(iii) organize the
different results in a complete database. This database will then have
to be analysed along
with ocean current numerical simulations and current data measured from
HF radar
(managed by the MIO).
Skill required:
- physical oceanography
-data processing
- Matlab / Fortran programming
- team work
Traineeship duration: 4 to 6 months, possibly starting in january 2015
depending on the candidate
availability
Traineeship place: MIO-Toulon, Toulon university campus
