The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording
evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great …

Tsunami events with extreme effects on sedimentary transport or considerable alterations of
the coastal configuration are rather rare regarding human history, but considering geological …

The Pacific plate converges with northeastern Eurasia at a rate of 8–9 m per century along
the Kamchatka, Kuril and Japan trenches. Along the southern Kuril trench, which faces the …

A puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January 1700. Samurai, merchants, and
villagers wrote of minor flooding and damage. Some noted having felt no earthquake; they …

A review is presented here of tsunami deposits in the geological record. It begins with a
discussion of the relationships between the processes of tsunami generation and …

Internationally, a key problem in reconstructing chronologies of coastal hazards is the ability
to distinguish between storm and tsunami deposits. This situation has been exacerbated by …

Tsunami deposits related to the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake and washover deposits
related to the 1991 Halloween storm differ in their sedimentary characteristics and positions …

Bradley Lake, on the southern Oregon coastal plain, records local tsunamis and seismic
shaking on the Cascadia subduction zone over the last 7000 yr. Thirteen marine incursions …

This paper presents a simple model for tsunami sedimentation that can be applied to
calculate tsunami flow speed from the thickness and grain size of a tsunami deposit (the …

With wave heights of 30 m and runups reaching 50 m asl and 6 km inland, the December 26,
2004 tsunami in Sumatra was one of the largest tsunamis in recorded human history. In this …
