TL;DR: In this article, modern subaerial sand beds deposited by major tsunamis and hurricanes were compared at trench, transect, and sub-regional spatial scales to evaluate which attributes are most useful for distinguishing the two types of deposits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the erosion and sedimentation associated with the 17 July 1998 Papua New Guinea tsunami, and describe the sedimentation of a layer averaging 8 cm thick of gray sand on a brown muddy soil.

TL;DR: InVEST as discussed by the authors is a new tool to assess (i.e., map, model, and value) multiple services provided by marine ecosystems, which allows one to estimate changes in a suite of services under different management scenarios and to investigate trade-offs among the scenarios.

TL;DR: RUGGIERO et al. as discussed by the authors used a kinematic differential global positioning system (KDGLS) survey to measure the seasonal and interannual morphological variability of high-energy dissipative beaches over a variety of spatial scales.

TL;DR: The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman tsunami flooded coastal northern Sumatra to a depth of over 20 m, deposited a discontinuous sheet of sand up to 80 cm thick, and left mud up to 5 km inland.
