“…Unfortunately, foraminiferal signatures of tsunami are not yet sufficiently well defined (e.g., Hawkes et al, 2006). Major hurricanes (category 3 and greater) hit coastal North Carolina several times a century, but vibracore PS03, three adjacent cores, and more than 30 cores across the Hatteras Flats and through the modern barrier islands, indicate just one substantial collapse, several centuries in duration, since the barrier islands formed around 3,500 cal yr BP.…”

We document here the threat of large scale destruction (collapse) of barrier islands based on the study of many cores taken along the Outer Banks and in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina.Around 1,100 cal yr BP, probably as the result of hurricane activity, portions of the southern Outer Banks must have collapsed to allow normal salinity waters to bathe southern Pamlico Sound for several hundred years. Such collapse could occur again during our current regime of global warming, rising sea level and increased tropical cyclone activity. The economic effect of barrier island break collapse on Outer Banks communities would be devastating.

“…The published results include works focused on the overall geological impacts of the tsunami Choowong et al, 2007;Kelletat et al, 2007;, on the detailed analyses of sedimentary prop-erties of sandy deposits (Hori et al, 2007;Choowong et al, 2008a, b;Fujino et al, 2008Fujino et al, , 2010Goto et al, 2008;Matsumoto et al, 2008;Alam, 2010;Naruse et al, 2010) and on the boulder deposits (Goto et al, 2007;Yawsangratt et al, 2009). Also studied were specific aspects such as the micropaleontological features of the deposits (Hawkes et al, 2007;Kokociński et al, 2009;Sawai et al, 2009;Yawsangratt et al, 2012), their geochemistry (Szczuciński et al, 2005;Boszke et al, 2006;Kozak et al, 2008;Zioła-Frankowska et al, 2009), their physical properties (Bishop et al, 2005) and their mineralogy . The IOT deposits were also presented in papers focused on paleotsunami deposits (Jankaew et al, 2008Fujino et al, 2009;Brill et al, 2011;Yawsangratt et al, 2012).…”

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.

“…Dawson and Stewart, 2007). In fact, many researchers have examined tsunami deposits formed by the 2004 IOT and earlier deposits to investigate their sedimentary features (e.g., Moore et al, 2006;Szczuciński et al, 2006;Bahlburg and Weiss, 2007;Goto et al, 2007Goto et al, , 2008Hawkes et al, 2007;Hori et al, 2007;Umitsu et al, 2007;Choowong et al, 2008a, b;Fujino et al, 2008;Matsumoto et al, 2008;Morton et al, 2008), the recurrence interval of huge tsunami in the Indian Ocean (Jankaew et al, 2008;Monecke et al, 2008;Fujino et al, 2009), and the impact and recovery processes of the coastal geomorphology Goto et al, 2011).…”
