海啸是加勒比地区的主要自然灾害之一。历史记录列出了从1489年到1998年的88次海啸，从当地事件到远程海啸。这项研究的重点是空间分布和地貌证据有关的粗沿岸的沉积物和巨石沉积的海啸事件的全新世在南加勒比海。在世界范围内，这些碎片沉积物代表了迄今为止研究的最广泛和最令人印象深刻的全新世古海啸记录。目前，背风的小安的列斯群岛由阿鲁巴、库拉索和博内尔岛组成，据了解没有海啸影响其海岸线。海啸可能的贡献配置海岸线（如海湾发展的问题，沿海环境的变化，以及没有全新世沿沿着迎风海岸的边缘礁）进行了讨论。
Tsunami are one of the major natural hazards in the Caribbean. The historical record lists 88 tsunami, from local events to teletsunami, in the time period from 1489 to 1998. This study focuses on the spatial distribution and geomorphologic evidence related to coarse littoral sediment and boulder deposition by tsunami events of Holocene age in the Southern Caribbean. At a worldwide scale, these debris deposits represent the most extensive and impressive records of Holocene paleo-tsunami so far studied. Hitherto, the Leeward Lesser Antilles, consisting of the islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire, were not known to have had tsunami affecting their coastlines. The possible contribution of tsunami to configuring coastlines (e.g. the questions of embayment development, the coastal environment changes, and the absence of Holocene fringing reefs along the windward coasts) is discussed.
