“…Clague et al, 2000;Nanayama et al, 2007;Jankaew et al, 2008). The explicit identification of paleotsunami deposits is often difficult mainly because the tsunami deposits may be represented by various sediment types and may be similar to other deposits, such as storm deposits (Morton et al, 2007;Switzer and Jones, 2008).…”

The tsunami deposits left by the 26 December 2004 tsunami in the coastal zone of Thailand were studied within two months of the event and before any significant postdepositional changes could occur. The sediment structure and texture (grain size), as well as its thickness and spatial distribution, were documented for the tsunami deposits in 12 shore-perpendicular transects from areas of various tsunami runup and wave heights. The tsunami deposits were as thick as 0.4 m and were located as far as 1.5 km inland. They were composed mostly of poorly sorted sand and often consisted of one to four normally graded, massive or laminated layers. The deposits generally became finer in the landward direction; however, landward thinning trend of the deposits is not clear, and the maximum accumulation often is not located close to the shoreline but rather is further inland. In comparable coastal environments with similar available sediment sources the tsunami size (represented as the tsunami runup height) is reflected in the resulting deposits. Larger tsunamis are associated with deposits that are thicker, have a maximum accumulation located farther inland, include a finer sediment fraction (likely from deeper offshore areas) and frequently are composed of normally graded layers.

“…Tsunami correlations (Tsunami #) in the central Cascadia margin are from Peterson et al, (2010a). The source of the 2 nd tsunami sand layer in the central Cascadia tsunami is not known (Peterson et al, 2008), but it might reflect a partial rupture in the northern part of the Cascadia margin (Clague et al, 2000;Schlichting & Peterson, 2006). Due to difficulties of discriminating the 2 nd and 3 rd tsunami events in some floodplain settings we assign them numbers of #2a and #2b, where they can be discriminated, and #2 where only one layer can be discriminated.…”

ResumenEl estudio de los eventos costeros en el pasado es importante para conocer el alcance y los períodos de recurrencia de los mismos, así como su papel de acumulación de la secuencia sedimentaria en el litoral. En este aspecto, la interpretación paleoambiental se basa generalmente en los depósitos de sedimentación "normal" (más lenta y continua), desechando por lo general el análisis de los eventos catastróficos debidos a su escasa frecuencia a una escala humana. Estos fenómenos "catastróficos", incluyendo temporales, huracanes y tsunamis, que logran producir una notable modificación del paisaje costero, afectando intensamente a las instalaciones humanas y constituyendo un riesgo natural de primera magnitud, constituyen el centro de atención del presente artículo.Palabras clave: Costa atlántica, eventos catastróficos, registro geológico, Terremoto de Lisboa 1755, tsunami, registro Golfo de Cádiz. AbstractThe study of the coastal events in the past is important to know their scope and their recurrence periods, as well as its role in the accumulation of the sedimentary sequence in the littoral. In this aspect, the paleoenvironmental interpretation is generally based on the deposits of "normal" sedimentation (slower and continue), rejecting in general the analysis of the catastrophic events due to its scanty frequency to a human scale. These "catastrophic" phenomena, including sea storms, hurricanes, and tsunamis, which manage to produce a notable modification of the coastal landscape, affecting intensely the human facilities and constituting a natural risk of the first magnitude, constitute the centre of attention of the present article.
