Title: Breaking wave impact on a smart boulder

Authors: F. Dias, J. Steer and O. Kimmoun

Scaled experiments were carried out at Ecole Centrale Marseille (ECM) to determine breaking wave impact modes and energies responsible for 
the transport of boulder clasts of O(100 t) positioned atop coastal cliffs. The experiments investigated both the breaking wave crest shape and 
the energy contained in the breaking wave. Detailed measurements of the local free surface, global free surface, 
and the reaction of the boulder will be presented.
