Identification of Tsunami deposits has long been a controversial issue among geologists. Although there are many identification criteria based on the sedimentary characteristics of unequivocal Tsunami deposits, the concept still remains ambiguous. Apart from relying on some conventional geological, sedimentological, and geoscientific records, geologists need some alternative "proxies" to identi...

Indonesia’s tectonic activity is one of the most active in world. These conditions make Indonesia prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Tsunamis are large ocean waves that formed through several processes such as underwater landslides, activity, asteroid impacts. has been hit by various tsunami events. However, not all characteristic events well known recorded. Knowing charact...

After the 2004 Indian Ocean (IOT) and 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunamis, new research in tsunami-related fields was strongly stimulated worldwide also Mediterranean. This growth yields substantial advancements tsunami knowledge. Among these is “Paleotsunami” that has marked particular progress on reconstruction of history a region. As an integration historical documentation available Mediterranean Gulf ...

The opinions expressed in this PWSRCAC commissioned report are not necessarily those of PWSRCAC. The 1964 earthquake demonstrated that the Valdez area is subject to enormous earthquakes and coeval tsunamis. The geologic record of prehistoric earthquakes and tsunamis in the Valdez area has not previously been studied. Historic and prehistoric paleotsunami deposits were identified during this stu...

Abstract In freshwater systems (rivers and lakes), historical recent tsunamis have been documented their traces found in the geological record, but studies of paleotsunamis (prehistorical tsunamis) such environments are still underrepresented. This contribution reviews paleotsunami with a focus on post ?2011 period uses events to highlight some areas research that received little attention. pas...
