TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined the mapped distributions and physical properties of boulders, sockets and shore platform context of an Atlantic-facing granite shore in County Donegal, northwest Ireland, and showed statistically significant differences in rebound values between areas inside and outside of sockets and between sockets and boulders.About:

Boulders as a signature of storms on rock coasts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the current state of knowledge about boulder dynamics, boulder responses to storms and boulders as sedimentary signatures of storm events and identify gaps in our conceptual and quantitative understanding.

Quarrying, transport and deposition of cliff-top storm deposits during extreme events: Banneg Island, Brittany
Bernard Fichaut,Serge Suanez +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a particularly high energy storm hit the French Atlantic coast and the western part of the English Channel and the effect of this storm in terms of block quarrying, transport and deposition on Banneg Island (Brittany) were significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geological controls on boulder production in a rock coast setting: Insights from South Wales, UK
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate some of the geological controls on boulder size, using a heterogeneous outcrop of Blue Lias limestone, and demonstrate that the shape and size of boulders liberated from the platform is dependent on which layer of limestone is at the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rocky coasts ― their role as depositional environments
TL;DR: The role of rocky coasts as depositional environments has been generally neglected by rock and depositional-coast workers as discussed by the authors, and the role of cliff faces and cliff faces has been studied extensively in the literature.

An initial evaluation of drone‐based monitoring of boulder beaches in Galicia, north‐western Spain
TL;DR: In this article, low altitude flights by a micro-drone were made in 2012 and 2013 over two boulder beaches in north-western Spain in order to identify changes in location and elevation of the highest points.

A third-generation wave model for coastal regions: 1. Model description and validation
TL;DR: In this article, a third-generation numerical wave model to compute random, short-crested waves in coastal regions with shallow water and ambient currents (Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN)) has been developed, implemented, and validated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waves, coastal boulder deposits and the importance of the pre-transport setting
TL;DR: In this article, a range of equations and their derivation is presented, which can be applied to the respective pre-transport environment of a boulder and can be used to reconstruct the frequency and magnitude of past coastal wave hazards and for differentiating between tsunami and storm wave deposited boulder fields.

The Schmidt Hammer in geomorphological research
TL;DR: The Schmidt Hammer has been used for an increasing range of purposes, including the study of various weathering phenomena, the relationships between rock strength and landform, and for relative dating of a range of Holocene features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rock coasts, with particular emphasis on shore platforms
TL;DR: A review of rock coast processes and landforms in a variety of morphogenic environments can be found in this article, where the authors determine the degree to which rock coasts are contemporary rather than inherited features from the Quaternary, when changes in sea level and climate were responsible for marked variations in the nature, intensity, and elevational distribution of the marine and subaerial processes that sculpture rock coasts.
