“…Scour damage is one of the main factors leading to the destruction of coastal infrastructure, such as building foundations, roadways, jetties and other coastal structures (Maheshwari et al, 2006;Paris et al, 2009). During the 1960 Chilean Tsunami, a quay wall in Hachinohe Port and a jetty in Kesen-numa bay were destroyed because the foot of the jetty were eroded as deep as 10 m (Takahashi et al, 2000).…”

“…During the 1960 Chilean Tsunami, a quay wall in Hachinohe Port and a jetty in Kesen-numa bay were destroyed because the foot of the jetty were eroded as deep as 10 m (Takahashi et al, 2000). The scour depth greater than 2 m were also attested by many road failures found in south Lhok Nga, Indonesia (Paris et al, 2009) and Kamala, Phuket, Thailand (Lukkunaprasit and Ruangrassamee, 2008) during the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami. In our simulations, a scour trench with a maximum depth of nearly 5 m is formed at the toe of the roadway foundation (Fig.…”

Numerical experiment and a case study of sediment transport simulation of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in Lhok Nga, Banda Aceh, Indonesia

There exists a high probability of a great earthquake rupture along the subduction megathrust under the Mentawai Islands of West Sumatra in the near future. Six rupture models were used to assess the tsunami inundation and the accompanying sediment movement in Painan, West Sumatra, Indonesia. According to a worst scenario, the potential tsunami might hit the coast of Painan about 26 minutes after the rupture and the entire city could be inundated with a maximum inundation depth of about 7 m. Severe erosion may also occur in the near-shore region. Two scenarios, one scenario with a positive leading wave and the other with a negative leading wave, were selected to simulate the tsunami-induced morphological changes. A positive leading wave would cause severe erosion in the shoreline area and a large sandbar in the offshore area adjacent to the shoreline; a small amount of sediment could be deposited in the city area; a negative leading wave could cause moderate erosion in the further offshore area due to the strong retreating wave front, an offshore sandbar could form in the bay area, while no noticeable large area of sand deposit could be found in the city area. The difference in the erosion and deposition patterns between these two scenarios provides very helpful information in the investigation of historical tsunamis through tsunami deposits.

“…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. Szczuciski et al, 2005;Kelletat et al, 2006Lavigne et al, 2006;Richmond et al, 2006;Paris et al, 2007Paris et al, , 2009Paris et al, , 2010Srinivasalu et al, 2007;Umitsu et al, 2007). In particular, it has been demonstrated that frequently the wave flow has been able to detach and scatter inland boulders of significant size and weight (Goto et al, 2009a, b).…”

Terrestrial Laser Scanner techniques in the assessment of tsunami impact on the Maddalena peninsula (south-eastern Sicily, Italy)

et al. 2012

The coastline of the Maddalena peninsula (south-eastern Sicily, Italy) is characterised by the occurrence of a boulder field associated to an extended soil stripping area and by a gravel/sandy berm. The accumulation of the boulders has been mostly correlated to the impact of the December 28, 1908 tsunami wave. The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanner survey techniques, associated to Differential Global Position System determinations, permits to obtain new data for the assessment of tsunami impact on this coastal area. The computing of the surveyed data using the most recent equations is a useful tool in order to estimate the theoretic inundation limit and to reconstruct its variability in function of the boulders size and of the coastal topography. Moreover, the entire new data set allows to confirm that the hypothesis of the tsunami impact is the most reasonable to explain the occurrence of boulders weighing up to 50 tons on the Maddalena peninsula.

“…Most research points to either storm waves or tsunamis as the source mechanism, though none of the research seems to consider rogue waves as a possibility. Bourgeois (2009), Dominey-Howes (2007) and Paris et al (2009) give examples of boulder deposits documented all over the world. The standard mechanism for determining the initiation conditions of boulder transport is given by Massel and Done (1993) and Nott (1997Nott ( , 2003.…”

Extreme wave events in Ireland: 14 680 BP–2012

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.
