Large boulder deposits have been noted in southeastern and western part of the&amp;nbsp;Island. In the area of Cape Greco (southeastern Cyprus) large boulders have been noted,&amp;nbsp;however, no detailed geomorphological research exists so far and the related high energy&amp;nbsp;event remains undated. In this context, we focused at Cape Greco Peninsula at the&amp;nbsp;southeastern coast of Cyprus, in order to record in detail large boulders deposits. The&amp;nbsp;accumulation of the boulders along the uplifted coastline (3m amsl) was recorded. The&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;boulders are fragments of a layer of an upper Pleistocene aeolianite, which is overlaying&amp;nbsp;unconformly a lower Pleistocene calcarenite. Dimensions and spatial distribution of 272 small,&amp;nbsp;medium and large boulders were documented. The precise distance of the boulders&amp;nbsp;deposition from the coastline was recorded by field measurements and remote sensing with&amp;nbsp;the use of GNSS, Drone mapping and GIS technics. Several large boulders weighting more&amp;nbsp;than ~30 metric tons were located up to 60m inland. Geomorphologic mapping and&amp;nbsp;morphometric measurements, along with the presence of marine organisms suggests that&amp;nbsp;some of the boulders were removed from their original intertidal zone and were transported&amp;nbsp;inland by the force of large waves. Samples of Vermetus sp. were collected from the&amp;nbsp;displaced boulders in order to date the extreme event. In this work, we report and compare&amp;nbsp;preliminary results from the application of widely accepted hydrodynamic equations, in order&amp;nbsp;to determine the extreme event that caused their transport inland. We further attempt a&amp;nbsp;correlation of the event with already known tsunami events from Eastern Mediterranean,&amp;nbsp;based on the estimated wave heights and the radiocarbon dating of marine gastropods&amp;nbsp;(Vermetus sp.).&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
