This book presents geomorphological and sedimentological aspects of
Holocene boulder ridges along the coastline of western Ireland (the
Aran Islands and Galway Bay). Given these boulders' size, extent
and altitude, they are among the most spectacular deposits moved by
marine forces worldwide and have challenged researchers to solve
their enigmatic history. In particular, the question of how their
features were formed (by storm waves or by tsunamis) is a matter of
heated debate. The documentation is based on the authors' own field
research, including observations on the boulder transport capacity
of six extremely strong winter storms in the 2013/14 season.
Discussing the arguments published to date and using more than 130
images for clarity, the book addresses the character, setting and
extraordinary size of these boulders moved on land, comparing them
with the situation along other exposed coastlines of the world.
