Tsunami events with extreme effects on sedimentary transport or considerable alterations of
the coastal configuration are rather rare regarding human history, but considering geological …

Sedimentary features and identification criteria of boulders deposited by tsunamis and storm
waves are highly controversial because of the lack of detailed studies of boulders that are …

Geological investigations of coastal sediments indicate that prehistoric tsunamis can be
identified. Their characterisation has altered our knowledge of the past frequency and …

We have conducted hydraulic experiments in an open channel with cubic and rectangular
shaped solid blocks on the slope for investigating the boulder transport process by tsunami …

Geomorphological processes associated with tsunami run-up and backwash are highly
complex. To date, most studies have considered the sedimentology of palaeo-tsunamis …

The tsunami of 2004 in the Indian Ocean transported thousands of meters-long boulders
shoreward at Pakarang Cape, Thailand. We investigated size, position and long axis …

The Ryukyu Islands, Japan, where numerous boulders are deposited on the reef and on
land, might be ideal research fields of boulders deposited by tsunami and storm waves …

The Ionian coast of south-eastern Sicily, between the towns of Augusta and Siracusa, is
characterized by the occurrence of anomalous calcareous boulders. They are mostly …

The Adriatic coast of southern Apulia (Italy) is marked by the presence of large boulder
accumulations. Boulders are up to 8 t in weight and arranged either in small groups or rows …

Evidence of catastrophic mega-block deposition is presented for the Algerian coast from
Tipaza to Dellys. The region is prone to large earthquakes, several of which are inferred to …
