| Notes | What does the past tell us about how far inland tsunamis might strike after a great earthquake in the Pacific Northwest? This paper recounts a study of tsunami run-ups over the past 3,000 years in our region. The authors estimate that the central part of the Cascadia region might expect “shoreline inundation heights of up to 14–15 ± 2 m.” (p.2023) They warn that, “Coastal communities should plan for the maximum paleotsunami run-ups as recorded at the nearest reliable run-up localities.” (from the Abstract) |
