SGER: Salvaging Clues to Tsunami Recurrence in Southern India

sg:【摘要】该项目的目的是通过1)记录2004年海啸沉积物在不同地貌环境下的沉积后命运，确定有利于印度南部海岸海啸沉积物长期保存的环境；2)比较气旋沉积与2004年海啸沉积，以制定区分热带地区海啸和风暴沉积的标准；3)发现和描述热带地区保存海啸沉积的自然环境。通过这些方式，该项目将有助于指导在低纬度海岸寻找古海啸沉积物。

SGER: Salvaging Clues to Tsunami Recurrence in Southern IndiaLisa Ely, Central Washington UniversityEAR-0726291ABSTRACTThe goal of this project is to identify environments conducive to the long-term preservation of tsunami deposits on the southern coast of India by 1) documenting the post-depositional fate of the 2004 tsunami deposits in various geomorphic settings, 2) comparing cyclone deposits with those of the 2004 tsunami to develop criteria for differentiating tsunami and storm deposits in the tropics and 3) finding and describing natural environments that preserve tsunami deposits in this tropical region. In these ways the project will help guide the search for paleotsunami deposits on low-latitude shores.
