Because it traces the great natural mobility of the channels and coastline and sheds light on the processes involved in the creation of a delta, this former arm of the Rhône is today the laboratory for the interdisciplinary research of Claude VELLA (Senior Lecturer AMU- CEREGE), Jules FLEURY (Head of the Research Department at AMU- CEREGE), Jules FLEURY (Head of the Research Department at AMU- CEREGE) and Claude VELLA (Head of the Research Department at AMU- CEREGE).

"Between two waters" also refers to an indecisive situation where choices have to be made and adaptations have to be found. This is the case at a time when global warming is leading to a reduction in freshwater resources, salinisation of the soil, retreat of the coastline and an increase in the number of hitherto exceptional meteorological events. So it is, literally and figuratively, a Camargue between two waters that we are talking about here, both as a reminder of the solutions that have been found over the years, and as an attempt to explain the solutions that must now be sought, at a time when change is accelerating as never before.
