The issue of contaminants in the aquatic environment is approached from a multi-disciplinary scientific angle (chemistry, geochemistry, microbiology, etc.), while also addressing the regulatory aspect:

• Presentation of the main contaminants in the aquatic environment: chemical contaminants such as major elements, trace metals, organic micropollutants (pesticides, hydrocarbons, endocrine disruptors, microbiological contaminants...) radioelements and biological contaminants such as micro-organisms, pathogenic bacteria, viruses....

• Focus on certain contaminants in specific aquatic environments, taking into account the hydrochemical characteristics of water in relation to the geological and environmental contexts of hydrological and hydrogeological basins.

• Presentation of interactions between micro-organisms and organic and inorganic contaminants and their consequences on the fate of contaminants in the aquatic environment; application in bioremediation.

These lessons are illustrated by examples from current events, such as antibiotic resistance, and/or from the speakers' own research topics.

The courses essentially consist of a decoded presentation of the fundamentals of regional planning: the main legal frameworks are presented and analyzed (in a participative manner) legal frameworks and their constant evolution (Codes, Laws, Texts), the "doctrines doctrines "We also look at the various technical "tools" available, whether in terms of procedures or project set-up (urban planning documents, or public or private construction or development projects). Also analyzed and presented are the tools and conditions for dialogue and consultation (examining different operating methods), land-use approaches land approaches (land management and the tools needed to achieve it), assessment of the multiple issues (financial, socio-economic and political), and finally, decision-making decision-making processes. The various aspects mentioned above are highlighted as factors that condition the success - and hence the successful spatial translation - of all development projects, whatever their nature. nature nature dimension.

Focusing on all regions, the module is also intended to focus on issues specific to coastal areas. coastal areasand similar areas. Because coastal areas have their own specific characteristics, a specific approach to these areas is essential, complementing the general approaches (Loi Littoral, Loi sur l'Eau, servitudes, changes in frameworks and texts).

Finally, the backdrop to this module is the systematic highlighting of the many debates and issues involved in the confrontation between theurgency (or priority) socio-economic urgency (or priority) environmentalwith an understanding of trade-offs and adjustments that this confrontation gives rise to. The current ecological and transitional urgency and the acceleration of the confrontations / conflicts of interest are examined and put into perspective.

With regard to the management "This theme is also described and analyzed for each of the points covered by the planning stage, both as a consequence of the planning stage, and as a consequence of the planning stage . consequence of the actions undertaken and as a condition for success -in the medium and long term- of projects on any scale.

This course should enable students to acquire in-depth knowledge of how aquatic ecosystems function, and to identify threats and vulnerability in the face of local pressures and climate change.

It will also enable students to 1) understand the specific features of benthic ecosystem functioning and the ecological roles of its components, 2) acquire in-depth knowledge of the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, 3) acquire knowledge of the impact of chemical and biological contaminants (toxic and pathogenic microalgae), climate change and anthropization on the functioning of aquatic ecosystems and on these components with socio-economic repercussions. This course will develop networks for monitoring the marine environment and the health of exploited marine animals, while addressing mortality issues.

Present the main processes involved in treating liquid effluent, as well as the treatment and management of the by-products generated. This course is based on learning how to draw up an overall ecological balance sheet, focusing on the management of water resources, wastewater and treatment by-products. The design and implementation of treatment processes are approached through the urban and industrial water cycle.

Water is at the heart of multiple and contradictory issues, visions and interests. The articulation of these different elements raises the question of integrated management (IWRM) and regulation (particularly by public policies), the balance between collective and private values, and decision-making processes concerning collective issues - in short, governance. Decentralization, water and sanitation services, basin management, the European Framework Directive and financial circuits illustrate, in particular, different facets of governance.

The EU content is organized into 3 parts:

1) Water cycle and water balance
- The main reservoirs
- Mechanisms of the water cycle
- Water circulation: from global to watershed scale
- Humans: their influence on the water cycle

2) The aerial phase of the water cycle - Hydrology
- The watershed
- Atmospheric circulation and precipitation
- Evapotranspiration
- Infiltration
- Runoff

3) The underground phase of the water cycle - Hydrogeology
- Porous media and their hydrodynamic properties
- Different types of aquifer
- Piezometric levels and maps

The "Ocean, Atmosphere, Climate" module introduces the fundamental principles of atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, and provides a critical, documented look at climate change. Teaching is based on analysis of official documents describing global change, documented lessons on key issues, and applications to case studies in different global contexts.

The module is shared by the "Coastal engineering and rational coastal development" and "Water and coastline" courses in the STPE and Water masters programs. It can be taken by work-study students wishing to update their knowledge of global change and its relationship to meteorological and atmospheric processes.
