Progress in palaeotsunami research
James Goff,Catherine Chagué-Goff,Catherine Chagué-Goff,Scott L. Nichol,Bruce E. Jaffe,Dale Dominey-Howes +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review progress with the development of these criteria and identify opportunities for refinements and for extending their application to new settings, with the emphasis on promoting the use of multiple proxies, selected to best match the context of the site or region of interest.

Expanding the proxy toolkit to help identify past events — Lessons from the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2009 South Pacific Tsunami
Catherine Chagué-Goff,Catherine Chagué-Goff,Jean-Luc Schneider,James Goff,Dale Dominey-Howes,Luke C. Strotz +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed some of the proxies used to identify palaeotsunamis, and provided a revised toolkit for the analysis of tsunami data using anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS).

Large-scale washover sedimentation in a freshwater lagoon from the southeast Australian coast: sea-level change, tsunami or exceptionally large storm?
Adam D. Switzer,Brian G. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a lens of marine sand, up to 90 cm thick, confined vertically by peat, is found in the upper fill of a closed freshwater back-barrier lagoon on the southeast Australian coast.

Sedimentary differences between the 1993 Hokkaido-nansei-oki tsunami and the 1959 Miyakojima typhoon at Taisei, southwestern Hokkaido, northern Japan
TL;DR: Tsunami deposits differ distinctly from storm deposits as seen in a trench in the southwestern Hokkaido town of Taisei, which was struck by a typhoon in 1959 and a tsunami in 1993 as discussed by the authors.

Guy Gelfenbaum,Bruce E. Jaffe +1 more
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.

Sedimentary differences between the 2002 Easter storm and the 15th-century Okoropunga tsunami, southeastern North Island, New Zealand
TL;DR: The sedimentological characteristics of a tsunami and a storm deposit laid down on the same stretch of coastline on the southeast coast of the North Island, New Zealand, are distinctly different as discussed by the authors.

Geomorphological effects of tsunami run-up and backwash
TL;DR: In this paper, the sedimentology of palaeo-tsunamis has been studied and it has been shown that coastal landscapes may be greatly altered not only by direct tsunami run-up orthogonal to the shoreline, but also by episodes of vigorous backwash and by water flow sub-parallel to the coastline.
