Tsunami fingerprints along the Mediterranean coasts
Rendiconti Lincei. Scienze Fisiche e Naturali ( IF 2.1 ) Pub Date : 2020-03-29 , DOI: 10.1007/s12210-020-00895-w

The Mediterranean basin presents specific geodynamic and morphodynamic features that allow tsunami genesis. Along the entire Mediterranean coast, morphological and sedimentological evidence testify the impact of extreme waves generated by exceptional marine events, tsunami and storms. Notwithstanding the discrimination between the effect of each of them is still debated, the long-time aged presence of human settlement along the coast of the Mediterranean basin allows to correlate geological data—geomorphological, sedimentological, seismological and geochronological—with archaeological and historical archives, allowing us to ascribe field evidence to the impact of tsunami which has impacted their coasts. Both landforms and sediments analysis—washover fans, mega-boulders, anomalous sandwiched layers—permit to individuate the coastal areas impacted by these events in the time. These geological evidences are useful for hazard and vulnerability assessment; they, in combination with the coastal values, naturalistic and anthropic, allow assessing the tsunami risk to which Mediterranean coasts are exposed.

地中海沿岸的海啸指纹

地中海盆地呈现出允许海啸发生的特定地球动力学和形态动力学特征。在整个地中海沿岸,形态和沉积学证据证明了异常海洋事件,海啸和暴风雨所产生的极端波浪的影响。尽管仍未就它们的作用之间的区别进行辩论,但地中海盆地沿岸人类住区的长期老龄化使地质数据(地貌,沉积学,地震和地质年代学)与考古和历史档案相关联,使我们能够将实地证据归因于海啸对沿海地区的影响。地貌和沉积物分析-冲刷扇,巨石,异常的夹心层-可以区分当时受这些事件影响的沿海地区。这些地质证据可用于危险和脆弱性评估;它们与沿海价值,自然主义和人类主义相结合,可以评估地中海沿岸所面临的海啸风险。
