Graphical abstractCoastal boulder deposits on Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands off Ireland's west coast, showcase many of the classic features. Note the adult human for scale (in the yellow circle). The cliff‐collapse block in the foreground is the largest ever documented to be moved by storm waves. Weighing 620t, it was shifted several metres during the storms of 2013–2014. The platform on which it sits is 5m above high water, and the block is 30m inland. The cliff at this site is 9m high. The boulder ridges behind the figure on the cliff top are 11–15m above high water, and the front of the pile ranges from 45–64m inland. A number of the biggest blocks on the upper platform, which weigh several tens of tonnes, were also moved sideways during the 2013–2014 storms; and within the ridge, the pale grey colours show smaller (1–15t) boulders that were overturned.

爱尔兰西海岸的Megagravel矿床显示出严重风暴的影响

图形摘要位于爱尔兰西海岸阿兰群岛之一的Inishmore的沿海巨石矿床展现出许多经典特征。注意成年人的体重秤(黄色圆圈内)。前景中的悬崖坍塌块是有史以来最大的风暴波移动记录。重达620吨,在2013-2014年的暴风雨中移动了数米。它所在的平台位于高水位上方5m,而该地块位于内陆30m。此地点的悬崖高9m。悬崖顶上的图形后面的巨石山脊位于高水位上方11–15m,而桩头的范围为内陆45–64m。在2013-2014年的暴风雨期间,上层平台上许多最大的重达数十吨的街区也被横向移动。在山脊内 浅灰色显示较小(1–15t)的巨石被倾覆。Eugene Farrell博士(NUI戈尔韦)拍摄的无人机照片。经许可使用。
