“…In a recent paper, Goff et al (2010) examined the physics of the boulder transport and concluded that the suspension is unrealistic, whereas the entrainment and/or the saltation are more probable. These types of transport were directly surveyed by Mastronuzzi and Sansò (2004) for boulders moved by a four day stormhundred-thousand of waves-occurred in Adriatic Sea on January 2003 or hypothesized by Hall et al (2006Hall et al ( , 2008 and by Hansom et al (2008) for the terrible storms impacting on the high British cliffs facing on the North Sea. Despite the conclusions reached by Goff et al (2010), the general features of the boulders, the absence of significant smaller fragments, the presence of a delicate and continuous band of algal rim and of sparse bio-concretions, all together seem to suggest a transport characterised by a single movement, eluding the possibility that boulders could have been rounded by the abrasion on the surf bench.…”

“…One of the most impressive evidence of extreme wave impact on the rocky coasts is represented by the presence of mega-boulders, sparse or accumulated in field or berms (Mastronuzzi andSansò, 2000, 2004;Williams and Hall, 2004;Hall et al, 2006Hall et al, , 2008Scheffers and Scheffers, 2006;Mastronuzzi et al, 2007;Scicchitano et al, 2007;Goto et al, 2009aGoto et al, , b, 2010a. The post-event surveys performed after the impact of the Indian Ocean Tsunami (IOT), occurred on December 26, 2004, have permitted to recognise morphological/sedimentological effects of its impact and, in the same time, to extend all obtained results on coastal sectors where similar evidences were recognised (e.g.…”

“…Sur le pourtour du Pacifi que et en Méditerranée, plus généralement dans les régions caractérisées par une forte activité sismique leur présence est plutôt attribuée à l'action de vagues géantes de « tsunamis » (Clague et al, 1999 ;Atwater, 1992 ;Atwater et Moore, 1992 ;Bryant et al, 1992 ;Young et al, 1996 ;Goff et al, 2001 ;Nichol et al, 2003 ;Pinegina et Bourgeois, 2001 ;Mastronuzzi et Sansò, 2004 ;Mastronuzzi et al, 2006Mastronuzzi et al, , 2007Scicchitano et al, 2007 ;Vott et al, 2008 ;Maouche et al, 2009). Dans le nord et nord-est de l'Atlantique ces dépôts ont été étudiés en Irlande, sur les îles d'Aran (William et al, 2004 ;Hall et al, 2006), sur les îles des archipels de l'Écosse (Orkney et Shetland Islands) Hall et al, 2008), et en Islande (Étienne et Paris, 2009), où leur origine a été attribuée à des événements météo-marins extrêmes de type tempêtes ou ouragans (Hansom et Barltrop, 2008 ;Hansom et al, 2009). Dans la littérature anglosaxone ils sont dénommés « Cliff-Top Storm Deposits » ou CTSDs.…”

“…Comme l'ont montré plusieurs auteurs, c'est en effet dans ces conditions que l'arrachement et le déplacement des blocs cyclopéens prend place (Noormets et al, 2004 ;Dawson, 1999 ;Dawson et Shi, 2000 ;Hansom et Hall, 2009 ;Hall et al, 2008). L'estimation des niveaux d'eau extrêmes à la côte a reposé sur la combinaison de deux paramètres agissant sur la déformation du plan d'eau : le runup, calculé à partir de l'équation de H. Mase (1989) en reprenant la méthodologie suivie dans la précédente étude (Fichaut et Suanez, 2008), et la marée observée.…”
