Abstract In freshwater systems (rivers and lakes), historical and recent tsunamis have been documented and their traces have been found in the geological record, but studies of paleotsunamis (prehistorical tsunamis) in such environments are still underrepresented. This contribution reviews paleotsunami studies with a focus on the post −2011 period and uses historical events to highlight some areas of research that have received little attention. In the past decade, the number of paleotsunami studies has increased and this includes those carried out over freshwater settings. However, studies of lacustrine paleotsunamis compared to studies on marine paleotsunamis are still rare and those for rivers are to our knowledge non-existent. Similarly, studies of historical tsunamis generated by meteorological disturbances have been carried out but there have been none for their paleotsunami counterpart. Thus, within this review, to cover all different aspects of tsunami generation processes in freshwater systems, we have used several historical examples, although there is a notable focus on lacustrine paleotsunamis. This review shows that future studies of freshwater paleotsunamis are necessary in order to better understand their causes, frequencies and hazard potential.

淡水(古)海啸——回顾

摘要 在淡水系统(河流和湖泊)中,历史和近期的海啸都有记载,并在地质记录中发现了它们的踪迹,但对此类环境中的古海啸(史前海啸)的研究仍然不足。这篇文章回顾了以 -2011 年后为重点的古海啸研究,并使用历史事件来突出一些鲜为人知的研究领域。在过去十年中,古海啸研究的数量有所增加,其中包括在淡水环境中进行的研究。然而,与海洋古海啸的研究相比,对湖相古海啸的研究仍然很少见,而关于河流的研究据我们所知是不存在的。相似地,已经对由气象扰动产生的历史海啸进行了研究,但还没有研究相应的古海啸。因此,在这篇综述中,为了涵盖淡水系统中海啸产生过程的所有不同方面,我们使用了几个历史例子,尽管重点关注湖相古海啸。本综述表明,未来有必要对淡水古海啸进行研究,以更好地了解其成因、频率和潜在危害。
