This book is an overview of the state-of-the art developments in
sedimentology of tsunami-induced and tsunami-affected deposits,
namely tsunamiites. It also points out any problems that need
additional investigation, as well as providing insight into the
direction of future tsunamiite researches. Important
characteristics of tsunami wave and tsunami currents are explained.
There are reports on the sediments generated by recent tsunami
including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami presented. Tsunamiites
induced by other seismic activities, a submarine slump and a
volcanic eruption are investigated as well.
Several contributions in this book present new ideas concerning the
characteristic sedimentary records of tsunamis and provide the
criteria for recognizing features of various tsunamiites. The
importance of studies of bedforms of tsunamiites from various
environments is emphasized. New information is provided on
tsunami-derived boulder deposits.
The significance of studies on tsunamiites in the archeological and
geological past is also illustrated in this book. For example, the
Mediterranean homogenites, and the K/T boundary meteorite
impact-induced tsunamiites have been investigated from new aspects.
* Provides a comprehensive overview of developments in
tsunamiites
