The impact of tsunamis on reefs and the resulting erosion and deposition of coral debris has only been recognized during the last 10 years (e.g. Yeh et al., 1993), and of course received massive attention after the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 for which most reef damage was reported due...
A subset of megathrust earthquakes produce anomalously large tsunamis for their magnitude. All of these recorded ‘tsunami earthquakes’ in the past 50 years had extensional aftershocks in the upper plate. These include the two largest and most destructi
Several locally generated tsunamis have been reported in Southern California during the past 200 years, yet the hazard from locally generated tsunamis has received considerably little attention. We consider here tsunamis generated by coseismic displacements on the Channel Islands Thrust (CIT) system, as...
