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 …

Although the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake and tsunami were devastating to coastal
environments, many of their effects have not lasted: over several years they have generally …

The 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake and tsunami was the most destructive geohazard in
Japanese history. However, little is known of the past recurrence of large earthquakes along …

Over the past decade or so, geochemical techniques have been applied to the study of
modern and past tsunamis. Seawater incursions and the introduction of marine organic …

Deep-sea turbidites have been utilized to understand the history of past large earthquakes.
Surface-sediment remobilization is considered to be a mechanism for the initiation of …

Little is known about offshore tsunami deposits, although they have the potential to improve
palaeotsunami reconstructions, especially in areas with limited preservation of onshore …

In the study of palaeotsunamis it is crucial to decipher the sedimentological record, to derive
intensity of past events and to infer different inundation phases. To achieve this goal, it is …

The strong ground motions, large crustal deformation, and tsunami generated by the 2011
Tohoku-oki earthquake (M w 9.1) reveal that a large coseismic slip likely propagated to …

Transport of continental shelf sediments to the deep ocean can be studied from displaced
symbiont‐bearing larger benthic foraminifera found in turbidity current deposits. The larger …

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages within turbidites recovered from two upper slope stations
off Sendai Bay, northeast Japan, have been analyzed to estimate the source area of the …
