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) …
Historical and instrumental data show that the Pacific coast of Mexico has been exposed to destructive tsunamis over at least the past 500years. This coast is also affected by …
Earthquake and tsunami records on centennial and millennial temporal scales are necessary to understanding long-term subduction zone behavior and the occurrences of …

Standardizing the signature of tsunami deposits has been identified as a major limitation for the identification of paleo-tsunami deposits. This limitation mostly arises from the strongly …
Coasts worldwide experience considerable population pressure and the demand for reliable hazard management, such as of tsunamis, increases. Tsunami hazard assessment requires …
Abstract The Arauco Peninsula (37°-38° S) in south-central Chile has been proposed as a possible barrier to the along-strike propagation of megathrust ruptures, separating historical …
Chile is a tsunami-prone country. Since the 1960 Chilean earthquake triggered a Pacific- wide tsunami, there has been a considerable amount of research conducted on the geologic …
