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.

Includes a comprehensive overview of new developments in tsunamiites from leading experts
Covers future trends and development needs for researching sediments from tsunamis
New edition includes coverage and lessons learned from the 2011tsunami in Northern Japan
