| In the framework of the HERMES European project, this study aims to characterize the sedimentary processes acting in the Var turbiditic system, their impact on the morphology, and their evolution through time and space. This work uses data acquired along the system, including interface cores, acoustic data, and measurement in the water column (temperature, particulate fluxes, speed and direction of the currents) thanks to mooring lines. The Var turbiditic system is under the influences of the Northern Current and of the Var river by a direct connection. Sedimentary processes are related to gravity-driven currents, oceanic currents which remobilizes sediments and hemipelagic decantation. Gravity-driven processes are dominant and are responsible of 80% of... |

| In this study we used major element composition, neodymium isotopes ratios (εNdεNd) and concentration of REE to track and quantify the sediment routing in the Var sedimentary system from source (Southern French Alps) to sink (Ligurian Sea) over the last 50 ka. Our data reveal that changes in sediment sources over that period, associated with concomitant changes in the hyperpycnal (i.e. flood-generated turbidity currents) activity in the Var submarine canyon, were mainly driven by paleoenvironmental conditions in the upper basin and in particular by the presence of glaciers during the last glacial period. Based on this evidence, we determined when and how glacier-derived sediments were produced, then excavated and transferred to the ocean, allowing us to... |

| The Var turbidite system is a small sandy system located in the Ligurian Basin (Mediterranean Sea). It is active during present sea-level highstand and shows four types of sediment transfer processes: (1) low-density turbidity surges generated by small-scale failures (2) low-magnitude, high-frequency (yearly) hyperpycnal turbid plumes, (3) high-magnitude, less-frequent, hyperpycnal currents and (4) high-magnitude flows generated by large slope failures. These processes have different imprints on the morphology of the system. Inversely, the topography plays a role on the behaviour of these flows. The depositional and erosional architecture of the system has been investigated in detail on the basis of SAR imagery and a set of cores using an interface corer... |

| The detection of viruses and bacteria which can pose a threat either to shellfish health or shellfish consumers remains difficult. The current detection methods rely on point sampling of water, a method that gives a snapshot of the microorganisms present at the time of sampling. In order to obtain better representativeness of the presence of these microorganisms over time, we have developed passive sampling using the adsorption capacities of polymer membranes. Our objectives here were to assess the feasibility of this methodology for field detection. Different types of membrane were deployed in coastal waters over 2 years and the microorganisms tested using qPCR were: human norovirus (NoV) genogroups (G)I and II, sapovirus, Vibrio spp. and the species... |
