Short summary
The Armorican region (NW France) is marked by several old coastal and marine markers that are today located several tens of meters above sea level. This fact is commonly explained by sea-level variations and complex tectonic processes (e.g., mantle dynamics). In this study, we test the role of the erosion and the associated flexural (lithospheric bending) response. We show that this simple model of flexural adjustment is to be taken into account to explain the regional evolution.
