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 …

The origin of tsunamis in the Mediterranean region and its connected seas, including the
Marmara Sea, the Black Sea and the SW Iberian Margin in the NE Atlantic Ocean, is …

Abstract The devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami caught millions of coastal residents
and the scientific community off-guard. Subsequent research in the Indian Ocean basin has …

Some of the proxies used to identify palaeotsunamis are reviewed in light of new findings
following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2009 South Pacific Tsunami, and a …

The coast represents the crossroads between the oceans, land and atmosphere, and all
three contribute to the physical and ecological evolution of coastlines. Coasts are dynamic …

There has been a lively debate since the 1980s on distinguishing between paleo-tsunami
deposits and paleo-cyclone deposits using sedimentological criteria. Tsunami waves not …

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 …

Coastal risk assessment and hazard mitigation require datasets on centennial and
millennial temporal scales to capture natural variability and multiple occurrences of the …

Species composition in the present-day Amazonian heartland has an imprint of past marine
influence. The exact nature, timing and extent of this marine influence, however, are largely …

Tsunami deposits are the primary source of information on (past) large tsunami events and
thereby are crucial for accurate hazard assessments. Tsunami deposits studies have …
