This publication offers geomorphological and sedimentological features of Holocene boulder ridges alongside the beach of western eire (the Aran Islands and Galway Bay). Given those boulders’ measurement, volume and altitude, they're one of the so much unbelievable deposits moved by means of marine forces all over the world and feature challenged researchers to unravel their enigmatic historical past. specifically, the query of ways their beneficial properties have been shaped (by typhoon waves or by means of tsunamis) is an issue of heated debate. The documentation is predicated at the authors' personal box study, together with observations at the boulder shipping skill of six super robust wintry weather storms within the 2013/14 season. Discussing the arguments released to this point and utilizing greater than a hundred thirty photographs for readability, the ebook addresses the nature, atmosphere and impressive dimension of those boulders moved on land, evaluating them with the placement alongside different uncovered coastlines of the world.
