Title: | Identification of tsunami deposits in south-eastern Sicily: evidence for the 365 A.D. Crete earthquake? | Issue Date: | 16-Nov-2009 | Keywords: | tsunami deposits 365 A.D. Crete |
Subject Classification: | 04. Solid Earth::04.04. Geology::04.04.01. Earthquake geology and paleoseismology | Abstract: | In the past decade, the methodologies and techniques of paleoseismological studies have evolved towards a multidisciplinary approach for the characterization of past earthquakes. Along with traditional geologic and geomorphologic near-fault investigations, off-fault studies of evidence for past earthquakes, such as soft sediment deformation (e.g. Moretti, 2000; Marco and Agnon, 2005), evidence of liquefaction (e.g. Tuttle et al., 2002; Guarnieri et al., 2009) and tsunami deposits (Dawson and Stewart, 2007; Pantosti et al., 2008; De Martini et al., 2009) are considered useful tools in the assessment of paleoearthquakes ages, magnitudes, and earthquake recurrence rates. We present the preliminary results of off-fault paleoseismological studies carried out in south-eastern Sicily, focused to identify evidence of tsunami inundations. |
