“…Williams and Hall (2004) also point out that the waves impacting the cliff top where deposits are found in western Ireland have not been enhanced by constriction in bays and suggest that amplification of waves due to constructive interference of incoming waves with waves reflected from the cliffs may need to be considered. These effects have been demonstrated by Hu et al (2000). Despite the proven existence of extreme waves in the ocean greater than 35 m, none have been described as > 50 m, so an alternative mechanism of movement must be involved for the case of Ireland.…”

“…Since turbulent bores may be likened to tsunamis in terms of their method of propagation, Williams (2010) believes it is this process that could explain the movement of boulders at such extreme heights above sea level. Furthermore, Hu et al (2000) carried out numerical simulations of a wave surge crossing an underwater step, showing that the step increased the forward velocity of the surge by up to 40 % (Williams and Hall, 2004). Hall et al (2006) propose that platforms and ramps on cliff tops are swept by wave-derived bores of water, parts of which can move up to 14 m s −1 (avg.…”

Abstract. The island of Ireland is battered by waves from all sides, most ferociously on the west coast as the first port of call for waves travelling across the Atlantic Ocean. However, when discussing ocean events relevant to the nation of Ireland, one must actually consider its significantly larger designated continental shelf, which is one of the largest seabed territories in Europe. With this expanded definition, it is not surprising that Ireland has been subject to many oceanic events which could be designated as "extreme"; in this paper we present what we believe to be the first catalogue of such events, dating as far back as the turn of the last ice age.

“…To investigate what the consequences of the storm surge would have been had the original wall been the primary defence, assessments were made using the Amazon wave overtopping model (Hu and Meyer, 2005;Hu et al, 2000). This model was run with the peak recorded water level during the storm surge, with 0?3 m and 0?6 m waves (recognising that wave action at the toe of the defence would have been low at the peak of the water level due to the strong offshore winds).…”

The Littlehaven promenade and seawall scheme has transformed a stretch of South Shields' seafront in north-eastEngland from a neglected length of coastline into a desirable visitor destination. The project involved the demolition of a failing seawall, on-site reuse of excavated material in raising levels and landscaping of backing land areas, and construction of a 500 m promenade and seawall along a new, landward and more sustainable, curved alignment. High quality concrete finishes, bespoke public art and breathtaking streetscape were used to ensure this striking scheme captured the public imagination and revitalised the seafront. This paper focuses on aspects of this multiple awardwinning scheme that recognise: its technical engineering excellence and ingenuity; its sustainability merits and environmental considerations; the benefits that have been created for the local community; special features of distinction; and the approach to health and safety management during design and construction. The scheme illustrates how a positive and collaborative approach can be created between parties through a shared vision for enhancement of a coastal frontage, and how such enhancement can be delivered through attention to detail in designing and constructing the works.
