Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief
moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger …

The study of palaeotsunamis preserved in the sedimentary record has developed over the
past three decades to a point where the criteria used to identify these events range from well …

Some of the proxies used to identify palaeotsunamis are reviewed in light of new findings
following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2009 South Pacific Tsunami, and a …

Case studies of recent tsunami impacts have proven to be extremely useful in understanding
the geologic processes involved during inundation and return flow, and refining the criteria …

Tsunamis are high energy events capable of transporting extremely heavy loads including
boulders. We compare boulder deposits created by two modern tsunami events, the 2004 …

Researchers who study tsunami deposits share common ultimate goals of their work, which
are to better assess the magnitude information of paleotsunamis and to contribute to the …

Geochemical proxies and diatom assemblages were used in combination with grain size
characteristics not only to describe the deposit left behind by the 27 February 2010, Maule …

At seasonal to century timescales (mesoscale), the shoreface is a critical zone seaward of
the surf zone and/or beachface, in which waves interact with the mobile seafloor to cause …

At the southern Hikurangi margin, New Zealand, we use salt marsh stratigraphy,
sedimentology, micropaleontology, and radiocarbon dating to document evidence of two …

The 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami caused severe damage to the coastal regions of eastern
Japan and left a sediment veneer over affected areas. We discuss differences in …
