Tsunami-related sedimentary properties of Mediterranean homogenites as an example of deep-sea tsunamiite -- 15. Volcanism-induced tsunamis and tsunamites -- 16. Tsunamiites : conceptual descriptions and a possible example at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in the Pernambuco Basin, northeastern Brazil -- 17. Deep-sea tsunami deposits in the proto-Caribbean Sea at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary -- 18. The genesis of ocean impact craters and impact-generated tsunami deposits -- 19. Tsunami boulder deposits : a strongly debated topic in paleo-tsunami research -- 20. Characteristic features of tsunamiites -- 21.

| Summary |
Tsunamiites: Features and Implications, Second Edition, is an overview of the state-of-the art developments in sedimentology of tsunami-induced and tsunami-affected deposits, namely tsunamiites. It also highlights new problems and issues calling for additional investigation and provides insight into the direction for future tsunamiite research. New to this edition: discussion of the impact of 2011 tsunami in Northern Japan as well as additional coverage of offshore tractive current deposition and deposition of boulders. |
