Marion Jaud

Marion Jaud is a Researcher affiliated with the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technologies (IUEM) at the University of Brest, France. Her work focuses on coastal dynamics, remote sensing applications, and geohazard monitoring, with particular expertise in UAV photogrammetry, satellite imagery analysis, and citizen science initiatives.

She coordinates projects like HIRACLES (cliff erosion monitoring using Pleiades satellite imagery) and OSIRISC (coastal vulnerability observatory in Brittany). Her contributions span coastal geomorphology, sediment transport, and extreme event analysis, including studies on hurricane impacts on Cuban marine terraces and boulder emplacement mechanics.

Key methodologies include:

• Multi-platform remote sensing (UAVs, LiDAR, radar systems)
• 4D wave measurement techniques
• Low-cost field instrumentation

Her research also addresses education through immersive technologies and community engagement, exemplified by initiatives like VR-based geology training and smartphone-based photogrammetry tools.

Notable projects include:

• Development of the RASTeR observatory infrastructure
• Analysis of coastal cliff erosion in France and Greece
• Monitoring of coral reef terraces in La Réunion

Her work bridges academic research with operational coastal management, emphasizing cost-effective solutions and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
