“…The Lisbon earthquake and tsunami were the greatest natural catastrophe that affected Europe in recent history and their effects left a mark in the collective memory of the inhabitants of the Iberian coast (Rodríguez-Vidal et al 2011). November 1 st 1755, the city of Lisbon was destroyed by an earthquake of Mb 8.7 (Baptista et al 2003;Gutscher et al 2006) constituted by a sequence of three tremors.…”

Background: Despite a position along the passive margin of Africa, the Moroccan Atlantic coast is under the influence of the tsunami threat from earthquakes triggered along the Nubia-Eurasia plate boundary. Along Tangier, Asilah, Sale and Mazagao's coasts, tsunami have been described since historic times. The 1755 Lisbon quake triggered a tsunami that struck the shores of Morocco 60 min after the tremor, the waves reaching from 2 to 15 m in amplitude. The coastal sedimentary record, together with other proxies, is now being experienced to discriminate and reconstruct evidence of prehistoric inundation events.

“…El siguiente evento catastrófico de origen tsunamigénico que afectó este litoral fue el asociado al terremoto de Lisboa de 1755, ampliamente estudiado y documentado por muchos investigadores (Campos, 1992;Baptista et al, 1998;Dabrio et al, 1998;Hindson y Andrade, 1999;Martínez Solares, 2001;Luque et al, 2001Luque et al, , 2004Alonso et al, 2004a;Whelan y Kelletat, 2005;Gracia et al, 2006;Abrantes et al, 2008;Blanc, 2008;Morales et al, 2008;Rodríguez-Vidal et al, 2011;Cuven et al, 2013, entre otros (Dabrio et al, 1998;Luque et al, 1999).…”

The bay of Cádiz is a coastal area intensively occupied during prehistorical and historical times from which many archaeological remains have been preserved. The bay is a low coast characterized by several spit-barrier systems which close wide estuarine marshes. This kind of coastal environment is especially vulnerable to marine energetic events, like storms and tsunamis, which have occurred in the region during the late Holocene with some regularity. The present work summarizes the different morphosedimentary records of historical marine events identified in the Bay up to date. New chronological and stratigraphical data are presented, obtained from drills, together with different geoarchaeological indicators of historical marine events identified along the Bay. Special attention is paid on the effects produced on the Valdelagrana spit-barrier, where the geometry and age of different historical beach ridges reveal the onset of at least three very energetic events, probably of tsunamigenic origin: one on 2700-2300 cal BP, a second one by the end of the IX century AD and the third one in 1755 AD. The two first events caused deep geomorphological modifications, like river captures, onset of new beach ridge systems, and coastal lowering. Archaeological data indicate that economical effects and infrastructure damage produced by these events conditioned later human occupation and related activities.

“…Las elevadas tasas de erosión costera en dichos materiales han facilitado una rápida regularización de la línea de costa a lo largo de los últimos 6000 años del presente alto eustático y, simultáneamente, el relleno progresivo de estuarios, bahías y ensenadas (Figura 1). El registro de eventos de olas extremas (Extreme Wave Event -EWE) ha quedado interestratificado en este relleno sedimentario sumergido (Dabrio et al, 2000) o en morfo-logías de superficie, como cantiles, cordones estuarinos o dunas transgresivas (Rodríguez-Vidal et al, 2011) (Figuras 2 y 3). …”

“…Posteriormente, varias publicaciones han evidenciado este evento en distintos lugares de la costa atlántica (Luque et al, 2001(Luque et al, , 2002Silva et al, 2015, entre otros), hasta que finalmente ha sido asimilado a un tsunami que se produjo a finales del siglo III a.C., posiblemente entre el 218 y 209 a.C. (Rodriguez-Vidal et al, 2011), coincidiendo con la Segunda Guerra Púnica. Silva et al (2015) proponen denominarlo como "Lacus Ligustinus Earthquake", utilizando para ello el nombre del antiguo lugar geográfico donde se han recogido la mayor parte de sus evidencias geológicas (Rodríguez-Vidal et al, 2011).…”

One of the most dynamic parts of the earth system is where terrestrial processes interact with marine processes on the coast. Changes in relative sea level, coastal evolution and extreme events such as storms and tsunamis are of local and global interest. Such events hinder individual well-being and intensify/enhance environmental degradation. In a changing world, in which climate and sea-level change impact on human
