The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was devastating. Since then much work has been undertaken to examine the sedimentological signatures and deposits associated with this event. While the sedimentology of tsunami is an important branch of science, tsunami have the capacity to cause significant changes to coastal geomorphological systems, triggering critical threshold changes. To date, little systematic work has sought to examine, explore and identify the geomorphological imprints and effects of tsunami as they inundate the coast. For example, exactly what changes to coastal geomorphology do tsunami initiate? What are the characteristics of tsunami geomorphology? How long do tsunami geomorphological imprints last within the coastal environment? Can a knowledge of tsunami geomorphology provide a useful or even essential addition to our understanding of past events?

Both oral papers and posters are welcome in this session. It is expected that approximately half of the papers accepted will be presented as posters.
