The module "Major issues in coastal dynamics" takes place at the beginning of the university semester during an integration seminar of the "Coastal engineering and reasoned coastal dynamics" master's degree and the "Water and Coastal" master's degree, usually held in an emblematic coastal location. During this event, organized around a different flagship theme in coastal sciences each year, an inaugural lecture is given on the definition of the coastline, and the typology of coastlines on land. Then, one or two lectures are given by specialists on a topic chosen from current events in coastal sciences. Within a short period of time after the seminar, students are required to write individually or in pairs an analytical note on the agreed topic.

The course is organized in 3 main chapters with alternating tutorials applied to engineering problems. In the first part, after describing the large water reservoirs on a global scale and the basic principles of the water cycle, the effects of human activities on this cycle are discussed. The second part is dedicated to the aerial part of this cycle from precipitation to infiltration. The third part focuses on aquifers and groundwater from the pore scale to the catchment scale.

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

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

The lessons consist essentially of a presentation of the foundations 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 We present and analyze (in a participatory manner) the main legal frameworks and their constant evolution (Codes, Laws, Texts), the "doctrines" that condition their application, but also the different technical "tools", whether they are procedures or file set-ups (Urban Planning Documents, or public or private construction or development projects). The tools and conditions for dialogue and consultation (examination of the different operating modes), the land approaches (land control and tools for this control), the evaluation of the multiple issues (financial, socio-economic and political), and finally the processes of decision making. The different aspects mentioned above are put forward as factors that condition the success - and therefore the successful spatial translation - of all development projects, whatever their nature and the dimension.

Focused on all the territories, the module is also focused on the specific problems of coastal areass and similar areas. Because coastal areas have their own specificities, a specific approach to these areas is essential to complete the general approaches (Coastal Law, Water Law, easements, evolution of frameworks and texts).

Finally, the backdrop of this module is the systematic highlighting of the multiple debates and issues involved in the confrontation between theemergency (or priority) socio-economic and the emergency (or priority) environmental emergencywith an understanding of the trade-offs and adjustments that this confrontation gives rise to. The topicality of the ecological and transitional emergency as well as the acceleration of confrontations / conflicts of interest are examined and put into perspective.

With respect to the management As regards the "management" of territories, presented in the title of the EU (" From planning to management of the territory") as a consequence of the planning stage, this theme is also described and analysed for each of the points declined that fall under planning, both as a consequence of the actions carried out and as a condition for success -in the medium and long term- of the projects implemented on a territory, whatever the scale.

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 (in particular by public policies), of the balance between collective and private values, and of decision-making processes concerning collective issues, in short, of governance. Decentralization, water and sanitation services, basin management, the European Framework Directive, financial circuits illustrate, in particular, different facets of governance.

This teaching is divided into two parts, one part concerning surface and atmospheric waters, the other part concerning groundwater. This UE is in continuity with the UE Water cycle of S1, and allows to lay the essential bases for the specific teachings of hydrodynamics and physical hydrology which will take place in S2. It is thus a transitional course between fundamental knowledge on the water cycle and specific knowledge on the study and characterization of surface and groundwater resources.

Theoretical courses associated with integrated tutorials are complemented by practical work on computers and hydrogeological maps.

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

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

This course is focused on mastering the tools of communication with the world of work, i.e. learning: -(i) how to write a CV, a cover letter, an email for a spontaneous application; -(ii) how to present oneself in a very short time, either orally or in writing; -(iii) how to answer the questions of an interview, and how to avoid the traps.

Learning these tools involves a theoretical presentation of the tools, but also very quickly putting them into practice. To do this, students will be asked to work in small groups, simulating realistic situations such as job interviews and presentations .... This is to learn how to best master these different tools.

All the teaching is done in the form of practical work, with particular emphasis on :

• on "reality show" sessions, where everyone will have to introduce themselves to each other in less than 3 minutes, will be put in job interview conditions or will have to make spontaneous applications / presentations.
• On email, cover letter and resume writing workshops.

This module aims to bring students to a concrete understanding of the implementation of IWRM and participation in water management through an active pedagogical approach.

It is based on the "Cooplage" system for supporting the implementation of participatory approaches to water management, developed by researchers from the GEAU research unit, and the associated Agreenium MOOC Terr'eau & co.

The students will work in small groups, associating students from the different courses of the Water Master, on case studies resulting from the ongoing research projects of the lecturers. The learning will be done through the implementation of some tools of the "Cooplage" device on their case study, including modeling and participatory simulation in the form of a role play. In order to anchor their work, students will be put in contact with the holders of these case studies. 

In view of the health constraints, this year the EU will take place entirely remotely. The modeling and the games will be done on a virtual table.

In water sciences, the use of probability and statistics for the treatment of hydroclimatic or water quality data is essential. Lectures and practical sessions will help students to refresh their knowledge (problems for the Baccalaureate, Licence), and then some new notions will be introduced (test for membership of a law in particular).

The course is structured around these chapters:

1. Elementary probability theory, combinatorial analysis. (course session n°1, TD1)
2. Discrete and continuous random variables. Law of probability and probability density function. Expectation, variance, covariance. (class session n°2, TD2)
3. Simple linear regression (covered in TD3)
4. Multiple linear regression (covered in TD3)
5. Some usual probability laws (binomial law, Poisson's law, normal law, Gamma, Gumbel) and their application (class session 3, TD4)
6. Tests for membership in a law (covered in TD5)

The in-situ observation of coastal hydro-sedimentary processes in a natural context or in an anthropized environment is a central activity of any scientific or engineering research work in hydro-morphodynamics or on coastal risk, development, sand/water resources, or the search for protection solutions. The in-situ observation brings objective elements of the existence of a process, on the behavior of a development / protection solution, on the quantification of a resource for its exploitation. Observation is, well beyond modeling or physical experimentation, both the ultimate validation of an approach, and a source of new ideas.

The module "in-situ measurement techniques and data analysis" is the first step of the students in the world of in-situ measurement of hydrodynamics and coastal morphodynamics. The module is organized around a first experience of (i) formulation of a scientific question in terms of in-situ observation in coastal environment, (ii) design of a measurement device to answer it, (iii) logistical preparation of the deployment, (iv) realization of the deployment, monitoring of the equipment and repatriation of the data, (v) analysis of the data to answer the question asked. The students are in charge of carrying out each of these steps in a very structured context for this first experience.
