tsunami consisted of at least 3 waves maximum measured run up distance was 700 m maximum measured run up height was 6 m tsunami backwash followed morphological depressions sediments are thickest in morphological depressions maximum thickness of deposits is 25 cm weakly developed grainsize trends (well sorted source) The 17 July 2006 tsunami was caused 200 km off the south coast of Java by a ca. 10 km deep Mw 7.8 earthquake at 15:19 local time and struck the coast between 20 and 40 minutes later. Depending on the geometry of coast and beaches, run-up heights exceeded 20 m at headlands (Fritz et al., 2007), and were significantly lower, less than 2 m, along many straight beaches. We measured the maximum run-up distance of 700 m west of Pandangaran. Quasi-linear debris accumulations document up to three subsequent waves of decreasing inundation and run-up. The tsunami deposits taper landward and often have erosive bases. Bottom layers may contain soil rip-up clasts incorporated from inundated agricultural fields. Sedimentary structures include small current ripples documenting backwash flow in morphological depressions. Deposits consist of up to 5 layers of medium and fine sand which display a weakly developed fining inland trend. Individual layers may be graded. .
