Magnitude and frequency of extra-tropical North Atlantic cyclones: A chronology from cliff-top storm deposits

The evolution of Holocene coastal dunefields, Jutland, Denmark: A record of climate change over the past 5000 years

“…Sommerville et al, 2007;Clarke and Rendell, 2008;Hansom and Hall, 2008). OSL dating is playing an important part in revealing this signal of past storminess variation, since it is only by use of absolute chronologies that different regions in the North Atlantic can be compared.…”

Competing mechanisms for boulder deposition on the southeast Australian coast

“…Despite recent advances in the study of the sedimentology and geomorphology of cliffed and rocky coasts (Scoffin, 1993;Nott, 1997;Hansom, 2001;Felton and Crook, 2003;Sommerville et al, 2003;Noormets et al, 2004;Williams and Hall, 2004;Stephenson and Thornton, 2005;Felton et al, 2006;Hall et al, 2006;Kennedy et al, 2007;Hall et al, 2008;Hansom and Hall, 2009), the action of coastal processes on rocky and cliffed coastlines remains understudied and complicated (Stephenson, 2000;Felton 2002;Felton and Crook, 2003;Stephenson and Thornton, 2005;Dominey-Howes et al, 2006). One aspect that has received recent attention is the detachment, transport and deposition of boulders and large clasts (Nott, 1997;Scheffers, 2002;Nott, 2003;Scheffers and Kelletat, 2003;Noormets et al, 2004;Morton et al, 2006;Goto et al, 2007;Imamura et al, 2008).…”

Extreme wave events in Ireland: 14 680 BP–2012

“…In an Irish context, Hansom and Hall (2009) and Williams (2010) report accumulations of large boulders on cliff tops up to 50 m high on the deep water coasts. They attribute the emplacement of these megaclasts to extreme storm waves; in particular, Williams (2010) argues that there was no tsunami action involved.…”
