Mega-tsunami conglomerates and flank collapses of ocean island volcanoes
Marine conglomerates at high elevation on the flanks of ocean islands are usually
interpreted as evidence of mega-tsunamis generated by volcano flank collapses, although …

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
