摘要
Since 1966, huge inputs from the Durance river diverted into the 'etang de Berre' (Mediterranean sea, France) have modified the hydrology, hydrodynamics and sedimentation patterns. Aerial photography allowed us to depict the surface dispersal of silt-loaded waters, and to locate turbulent phenomena. Hypersedimentation areas, evidenced through comparison of 1962 and 1992 bathymetric surveys, coincide with front and water mixing zones identified since 1970 from aerial observations.
