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 …

Large, historically unprecedented earthquakes at the Cascadia subduction zone in western
North America have left signs of sudden land level change, tsunamis, and strong shaking in …

In the last three years, there have been three large tsunamis in the Indian Ocean, most
notably the notorious one which struck on 26 December 2004 and killed more than 238,000 …

Geological investigations of coastal sediments indicate that prehistoric tsunamis can be
identified. Their characterisation has altered our knowledge of the past frequency and …

An important but poorly known part of the earthquake hazard at near‐coastal cities of
western North America from southern British Columbia to northern California is from great …

Tidal‐wetland stratigraphy reveals that great plate boundary earthquakes have caused
hundreds of kilometers of coast to subside at the Cascadia subduction zone. However …

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 …

tsunami sediment from the Indian Ocean Tsunami at five sites along the Malaysia–Thailand …

Large tsunamis strike the British Columbia coast an average of once every several hundred
years. Some of the tsunamis, including one from Alaska in 1964, are the result of distant …

A range of diagnostic criteria are required to help identify palaeotsunami deposits. Although
chemical signatures have long been used as indicators of palaeosalinity in sedimentary …
