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 …
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 …
Much progress has been made since the first published studies of tsunami deposits nearly 30 years ago. Geochemistry is now a much more widely used proxy in tsunami research …
