Process-sedimentological challenges in distinguishing paleo-tsunami deposits
G Shanmugam - Natural Hazards, 2012 - Springer
There has been a lively debate since the 1980s on distinguishing between paleo-tsunami
deposits and paleo-cyclone deposits using sedimentological criteria. Tsunami waves not …

The use of boulders for characterising past tsunamis: lessons from the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2009 South Pacific tsunamis
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 …
