Following André Guilcher and Fernand Joly's study on corrosion forms in limestones along the atlantic coast of Morocco, our work concerns, with more detail, the region situated at the south of El Jadida, which is made of cretaceous, homometric, fine-grained limestones, and will thus allow a comparaison with coastal forms found in Morocco in other types of limestones. These corrosion forms show a vertical distribution with, in the upper part, very sharp lapies and intervening ponds and ovverhangs; in the midle part, very flat ponds with low, sinuous rims; and finally a low tide microclif. Such forms are not the result of the mechanicl action of the surf, but the result of boring by endolithic cyanophyceae and animals, action of lichen, and, on the other hand, of physico-chemical processus such as alternanations of wetting and drying, sea-water aggressivity, and corrosion by salt

The present study is included in a more general framework dealing with the coastal corrosion forms in limestone in the world. So far as it is presently known, the processes are mainly biochemical, but they show different aspects under the diverse latitudes and must still be precised in order to have a differenciation in data, the sites in which the observation have been made are distributed over three places of the atlantic coast of Morocco : Dar Bou Azza, near Casablanca ; Jorf El Ihoudi near Safi and cape Tafelney in the great Atlas. Previous work by A. Guilcher and F. Joly had show the diversity of corrosion forms, but detailed studies still missed. The distribution of forms in altitude shows their vertical differenciation, and the biochemical processus and agents in bioerosion are especially detailed

This essay continues with more precision the work carried on in 1954 by Guilcher and Joly on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. It concerns the sector at the south west of Rabat over a little more than twenty kilometers. This area consists of a coastal plain, with a littoral karst developed in pleistocene eolianites under the influence of a strong surf. The intertidal zone shows a rochy platform with steps separated by low, continuous rims. In the supralittoral, spray zone, very sharp lapies are found. Such forms do not derive from mechanical erosion, but from a conbination of biological and physico-chemical factors influenced by the climate. These coastal forms resemble very much those found in some intertropical and subtropical countries. Atlantic Morocco seems to be one of the countries where such featover are but developed

Mediante el empleo de material cartográfico y sistema de información geográfica (SIG), se realizó un análisis espacio-temporal, donde se comparó el comportamiento de la línea de litoral de un sector costero mínimamente afectado por la ocupación humana (Puémape–Puerto Chicama) con otros sectores costeros con ocupación moderada (La Chira–Lurín) a fuertemente modificada (Salaverry–Las Delicias y la bahía de Miraflores). Durante el período comprendido entre 1961 y 2006 para el sector Puémape–Puerto Chicama, se identificó el predominio del avance o estabilidad de la línea de costa. El sector La Chira–Lurín presentó un comportamiento similar, con tendencia a la estabilidad y los sectores fuertemente intervenidos presentaron un comportamiento netamente erosivo. Al contrario de lo esperado, la elevación del nivel del mar debido el calentamiento global no parece ser la causa principal de la erosión de playas en el Perú. Esta se debe principalmente a la fuerte intervención en costa ya que en sectores no alterados el predominio es de estabilidad o avance de la línea de litoral.

Current Geospatial Business Intelligence (GeoBI) systems typically do not take into account the uncertainty related to vagueness and fuzziness of objects; they assume that the objects have well-defined and exact semantics, geometry, and temporality. Representation of fuzzy zones by polygons with well-defined boundaries is an example of such approximation. This thesis uses an application in Coastal Erosion Risk Analysis (CERA) to illustrate the problems. CERA polygons are created using aggregations of a set of spatial units defined by either the stakeholders’ interests or national census divisions. Despite spatiotemporal variation of the multiple criteria involved in estimating the extent of coastal erosion risk, each polygon typically has a unique value of risk attributed homogeneously across its spatial extent. In reality, risk value changes gradually within polygons and when going from one polygon to another. Therefore, the transition from one zone to another is not properly represented with crisp object models. The main objective of the present thesis is to develop a new approach combining GeoBI paradigm and fuzzy concept to consider the presence of the spatial uncertainty in the representation of risk zones. Ultimately, we assume this should improve coastal erosion risk assessment. To do so, a comprehensive GeoBI-based conceptual framework is developed with an application for Coastal Erosion Risk Assessment (CERA). Then, a fuzzy-based risk representation approach is developed to handle the inherent spatial uncertainty related to vagueness and fuzziness of objects. Fuzzy membership functions are defined by an expert-based vulnerability index. Instead of determining well-defined boundaries between risk zones, the proposed approach permits a smooth transition from one zone to another. The membership values of multiple indicators (e.g. slop and elevation of region under study, infrastructures, houses, hydrology network and so on) are then aggregated based on risk formula and Fuzzy IF-THEN rules to represent risk zones. Also, the key elements of a fuzzy spatial datacube are formally defined by combining fuzzy set theory and GeoBI paradigm. In this regard, some operators of fuzzy spatial aggregation are also formally defined. The main contribution of this study is combining fuzzy set theory and GeoBI. This makes spatial knowledge discovery more understandable with human reasoning and perception. Hence, an analytical conceptual framework was proposed based on GeoBI paradigm to develop a fuzzy spatial datacube within Spatial Online Analytical Processing (SOLAP) to assess coastal erosion risk. This necessitates developing a framework to design a conceptual model based on risk parameters, implementing fuzzy spatial objects in a spatial multi-dimensional database, and aggregating fuzzy spatial objects to deal with multi-scale representation of risk zones. To validate the proposed approach, it is applied to Perce region (Eastern Quebec, Canada) as a case study.
