This book will illuminate how various characteristics of datable carbonate blocks torn up from coral reefs and deposited on reef platforms yield importance evidence about the storms and tsunamis that emplaced them over decadal and centennial timescales.  No comprehensive review has so far been published.  A need now exists for a ?definitive reference? on coral boulder research, which details the earliest observations, changing terminology, sedimentology, and relevance for coastal hazard research in the tropics.  A wide range of examples will be incorporated from across Asia, Australia, the Pacific and the Americas, as well as a full up-to-date review of the existing literature. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,$x2191-5377 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aGeology 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aOceanography 606 $aEarth System Sciences 606 $aGeology 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aNatural Hazards 606 $aOcean Sciences 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 14$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aGeology. 615 24$aSedimentology. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aOcean Sciences. 676 $a300 700 $aTerry$b James P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0871070 702 $aLau$b A Y Annie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aEtienne$b Samuel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739477203321 996 $aReef-Platform Coral Boulders$93553240 997 $aUNINA
