Sediment Provenance Of Tsunami Deposits: Implications For Assessing The Relative Intensity Of Paleotsunamis From The Sendai Coastline Of Japan, Tiffany Otai
Master's Theses
The 2011 Tohoku tsunami impacted the northeastern coast of Japan and caused unexpected damages due to the underestimation of this type of hazard. Of particular importance is the fact that geologic evidence for a predecessor event, the Jogan tsunami (CE 869), could have forecasted the severity of the 2011 Tohoku event. While the timing of tsunamis is important for effective hazard mitigation, outside of the 2011 Tohoku event, the intensity of past tsunamis remains unclear. To understand paleotsunami intensity, it is important to document characteristics of modern analogues like the 2011 event. This study utilizes surface distributions of foraminifera from …

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
During the excavations of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum for the Marmaray Project, which will connect two sides of the Bosphorus by rail tube tunnel, an ancient Byzantine Port (Port of Theodosius) was explored around Yenikapı, district of Istanbul. The aim of the study is to understand the stratigraphical sequence observed in the excavation site, to recognize the traces of natural events observed within the sequence and to reach the geoarcheological data that will provide contribution to the archeological studies by geological findings. The sequence studied in the Yenikapý Excavation site was divided into 9 different units. The sequence is transgressive …
