Coastal evidence for Holocene subduction-zone earthquakes and tsunamis in central Chile
The∼ 500-year historical record of seismicity along the central Chile coast (30–34° S) is
characterized by a series of∼ M 8.0–8.5 earthquakes followed by low tsunamis (< 4 m) …

Sedimentary differences between the 2002 Easter storm and the 15th-century Okoropunga tsunami, southeastern North Island, New Zealand
Internationally, a key problem in reconstructing chronologies of coastal hazards is the ability
