My current research involoves the coastal sedimentary dynamic ( delta, lagoon, shoreline, foreshore, marine sand bars, etc) under naturel and human pressure.
A particular of research interest is adressed to the ongoing alarming coastal erosion of sandy and deltaic beaches in semi arid and arid regions.
I'm the focal point of the new DEMOSITE UNESCO-Ecohydrology ( Ghar El Melh, Tunisia). My team adopt the Nature Base Solution to mitigate Coastal degradation and th strenght the coastal communitis resilience to nature Hazards.

Our project focuses on Nature Based Solutions dedicated for two issues to achieve the sustainability of the Ghar el Melh lagoon & coastal ecosystems: (1) increasing local natural biodegradation capacity of soils to trap polluted waters delivered by urban sewage systems; and (2) re-development of dunes ecosystems by fixing them with natural barriers in order to protect the coast line, to enhance the biodiversity and to save fresh waters .
